Reflecting on 2007

 

 

So, you ask.   What the hell did Rand Damn Nix DO in 2007?  It certainly wasn’t blogging, now was it?

 

No, it was not.

 

2007 definitely had some challenges, but I’d have to say, looking back on it, it’s got to have been the best Rand Year in recent history.

NOTABLES:

AA Miles:  77,000

Countries:   7

Passports:  2

Lines of Code:   Give me a break…

Broken Bones:   1 or 5, but all in the hand.

Number of Hotels kicked out of:  1

Number of Hotels that should have kicked me out:   2

Number of lunches that consisted of rice, beans and mystery meat:  7,234

Number of weeks spent out of the country:   Far more than in.

 

So that’s pretty much what’s kept me busy and not blogging.   I really do intend to do better this year, but last year, seriously, I wound up on the back foot trying to make good on a million dollar promise I made counting on some support I didn’t get.   The fact that I did make good on the promise despite being behind from the start and without the support I was counting on made me realize how important it is to not go around making promises.   ;-)  

What I can tell you is that, and this is important, from the deserted backwaters of the Amazon, to trendy restaurants in England and all the way to the smoke filled Cafe’s in Paris…   and you may not believe me. . . . but I’ve got plenty of photos to prove it. . .

. . .  the buttcrack is back.   Seriously, if you’re not showing some crack, you just lost your relevance in the new world.  Once the only identifying characteristic of the average plumber –  today, however, in the 21’st century, we still don’t have our flying cars, granted… but we’ve got buttcrack.   Miles of it.

So, for 2007, we can sum it up with that:  The Crack is Back, Jack.

    Good to hear from you again!!

    Good to know, about the Buttcrack. However, I notice that the cracks in your exemplary photos are all svelte, slender, female cracks - not pudgy, hairy, blue-collar-guy cracks. Truth in reporting…or photographer’s bias?? (Hm.) Anyway, I’m glad I don’t follow fashion - I don’t know if I’m ready to jump on that bandwagon just yet.

    Don’t be a stranger - you’re still one of my top-ten favorite people, you know.

    Halaylah –

    ACTUALLY, in my defense, photo numero two above is a man’s. Not a particularly svelte, slender or feminine man either. That was a sentence fragment, by the way, which is why, if you consider my mother’s opinion to be correct (and who wouldn’t?), I’ve never had much hope of a career as a professional writer.

    All that aside, I’m glad I’m still on your list — we should keep in touch more often.

    R.
