Ring Out, Ring In

105 Comments

It’s New Year’s Eve!

I’m sure there are some who had a wonderful 2010. God bless them.

Many more will be happy to see it go. I will not carry fond memories of this year, though perhaps I should. It wasn’t all misery and disappointment – it just seems that way. And while each year can be said to have a distinct character, when you review it day by day it’s clear that on each trip around the sun you get a little bit of everything along the way, good and bad. The question is, what will you choose to dwell on?

There is a great temptation to slide over to the dark side. Here’s a pessimistic rhyme about the changing of the guard and the relentless, unpredictable variety of daily life, regardless of what year we say it is.

The Old Year’s toast. We’ll watch him hang.
The New Year’s here. And so’s the gang.

So Hail, Hail, Hail and hip hooray.
We’re glad the old one’s going away.

This new one owes us hopeful news.
Unending love and meager blues.

Though we’ll get both before it’s done.
From the year Two Aught One and One.

And one year hence as the sun goes down
We’ll run this fresh year out of town.

And find a new one to embrace.
Who’ll promise joy. And wreck the place.

Banish gloom and debunk defeatist bloggers!
Make an optimistic prediction for 2011.

  1. Morning all… can’t believe I’m up. No work and I still can’t sleep past 5:30!

    The big prediction for 2011 here is the teenager’s hoped for officially accredited license for getting behind the wheel without the parent. My optimistic prediction is that this will not result in any big dings in the car or gray hairs on my head!

    My second hopeful prediction is that the babooners will continue to educate and delight each other throughout the year!

    1. Best of luck with the teenager, Sherrilee! Today marks the beginning of my last year before I become the mother of a teenager myself-I really hope it does not go by toooo fast-I’m not ready yet!

      12 years ago today at 7:20am, the OB on duty came into my hospital room and announced “that baby has to come NOW!” I wasn’t really ready then either. Seasoned parents, please tell me it is ok to NEVER be ready…..

      2. what did hildagard say after that. i had the nurse form hell for one kid. we asked what her hours were and settled in for after she got off. you are never ready??? you’ve had a while to think about it, a noticible it was coming and then the simple act of excreting a bowling ball. nothin to it. still love me hun? then the fun begins. get an old volvo 850 for the daughter. they are bullet proof, cheap to repair ( relatively speaking)safer than most clunkers and will keep you from dying the slow death of accirdents that will occur for certain the first two years. (no doubt al all)

      3. Good lord, I haven’t felt ready in 6 1/2 years – was pretty much hoping that was the norm and that probably wouldn’t change anytime soon (like in the next 20 years…). What I was not expecting, though, was the same ill-prepared feeling for care taking my parents (mostly because I wasn’t expecting to be care taking my parents already).

      4. good for you for recognizing the frustration early on. it took me a while to realie i was getting frustrated with them for their not holding up their end of the deal and that is the whole problem. they can’t they are more frustrated that you and you try to be the patient one who pulls it all together. (not my strong suit) i can pull it together but the patient part i have a tough time with.

    2. I agree, Sherrilee…why am I up since 5:30 am on a non-working day???

      I don’t feel qualified to predict anything anytime, much less in the dark of the year…but hoping with all my hope potential that 2011 is better (at least for me) than 2010….and no matter what your 2010 was like, I hope for all of you better in 2011.

  4. Rise and Ring in the New Year Baboons:

    I also am not sorry to see 2010 pass on. I’ll have to get out my Tarot Cards later to see what they say! Right now they are in the bedroom where the husband is sleeping.

    Yesterday I finished my mother’s story, Of Mice and Me. It turned out pretty well. But what a grim life in 1932. I predict I’ll do another one for Christmas 2011. I do hope that I start it sooner so it is not such a rush at the end. But will I? Really? Doubt it.

    I predict Dale will find a job to pay the bills and that entertains all of us as well! Barb’s goats will have kids then provide gallons of creamy, rich milk. tim will wander about the world doing business, shepherding his children, and thinking about sex, drugs, and rock and roll. Joanne’s job will turn permanent. Crystal Bay’s health problems will resolve. St. Paul Steve will find a job and sell his house. Verily Sherilee will start speaking in Shakespearean English at all times, especially when riding with the teen-ager. Jim in CG will discover a new, old seed and produce a bumper crop. We will all go together to Lanesboro to see Ben’s summer theater production. Our cheering will bring the house down. Donna’s classroom test scores will set new records. Anna will read more books then program something at Best Buy to restore the stock prices. MIG will produce a costume so beautiful that it wins awards. Connie will write more on the blog. Renee and Alanna will visit the Cities and I will host a meet and greet of Baboons for them. BBC will read wonderful books, discuss them while noshing and bonding. We will get more snow.

    If I forgot anyone, sorry. I’ll catch up later when I report on the tarot cards.

    And I will continue to love you all.

      Cynthia in Mahtowa will have a productive, positive years.
      Linda in WST will explain the ostrich in her gravatar. She will raise her voice in BBC and not let us loudmouths talk her down.
      Barbara in Rob and I will explore the Bergen cookbook and make new, old recipes. Later we will discover we are distant cousins from Norway.
      tgith, our resident mystery writer, will let us get to know him more.
      Caroline will find what she does well.
      Beth-Ann will formulate a new knitting pattern that MAKES HER RICH!

      Elinor will have 15 minutes of fame when she is interviewed by several TV stations after her shoes start on fire during a marathon.

      Crow Girl will receive a book with a dedication from the author, “For Crow Girl, without whose wisdom and encouragement this book would not have been possible.”

      Krista will sign Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie to perform at the next Rock Bend music festival and break all attendance records.

      Chris will canoe from Owatonna to the Gulf of Mexico. (Is this possible?)

      MN in Sudbury will turn up in Alaska, having journeyed north in search of more snow.

    1. As usual, the National Weather Service promised southwest ND lots of snow. As usual, we have been disappointed. All we got was 3 inches of snow and terribly cold temps. It is really awful around Fargo, which is quite sad as our son and daughter-in-law were going to drive here from Fargo tomorrow for a belated Christmas. I think they can make it on Sunday but I will worry about them all the same as the temps will be dangerously cold and the roads are probably going to be bad.

    1. as far as i’m concerned, C’lie – you’ve done splashed already. always interesting and fun.

      i’m just in from milking – not that it took that long. what took long was getting into the barn! the garage door that we use as entrance was frozen solidly to the ground. i worked at it for 15 minutes and then got Steve who brute-forced it (usually i wait longer because he is “too strong” and breaks whatever i’m trying to open/close). then the Gentlemen were frozen into their Club also because the front door was frozen and their back door was blocked by a ton of snow/ice that came off their roof in last night’s rain. then everything froze into mounds of rock-hard ice. it’s 10 degrees here right now. ice cleats don’t work when the ice is that hard. we kind of just slid down to the barn. and everyone was freaked out because we made so much noise coming in!
      just wanted to note: this morning marked Alba’s last milking for the season. what a good Girl she was this year. 2010 MeadowWild Barn Awards coming out soon – about the time when Oscar nominations are out.

        Here comes another ‘When I was milking cows–‘ story.
        After a blizzard the back barn door would be drifted shut, so after digging that out no doubt some cow would lay down right there and leave a big ole cow pie tight against the door and it would freeze and I’d have to go out and chop that away…
        And shovel snow out of the feedbunks.

        Those are things I don’t miss about milking cows.

  9. Strange things are afoot, fellow baboons. A person at my workplace who has been nasty, vindictive, and threatening to me and other co-workers since 2001 has suddenly started to be kind. I would like to predict that this person will truly make peace with herself, with me, and with the rest of her targets, but I have been burned too many times in the past to trust this is a true change of heart. Perhaps her strange friendliness has something to do with her having an ongoing struggle with cancer. I will try to be optimistic and channel positive and peaceful thoughts in her direction. The situation makes me jumpy and nervous. We perused seed catalogs and mapped out our new garden plot last night. I predict we will have a good time gardening, even if the harvest doesn’t live up to expectations. I also predict that my daughter will realize that the space under her bed is actually part of her room and needs to be cleaned out on a regular basis. Happy New Year to all!

  11. My best wishes to all for a happy new year,

    A positive attitude is always good and balancing it with a realistic point of view that does not deny the negative, as in Dale’s poem, is also good, in my opinion. This blog seems to be good at keeping that balance, so I wish all of you another year of staying up right and good luck with your juggling acts in 2011.

    Also we shouldn’t forget that other group that occupies the blog from time to time: Bubby; Captain Billy; Spin; Dr. Larry Kyle; Bart; Bud Buck; and any others characters of this kind I might have forgotten. I think Dale is in contact with these guys and can pass on wishes to them for a good 2011.

    What to predict for 2011? Is it possible that Bubby will make it into the junior class? Can we expect Dr. kyle to come up an even more amazing food product? Perhaps Bud Buck will win a Pulitzer Prize. Can we expect some amazing feats from Captain Billy, Bart, and Spin? I’m sure all of these things are possible. Well, I doubt that Bubby will make it into the junior class, but anything is possible. We will just have to wait and see.

  12. Morning everyone–

    I predict we will all be tired of winter soon, but that will be OK because there won’t be any more snow this year. I predict Mother Nature will have mercy on us all… and that seeds will go in the ground in many different forms and shapes and various greenery will arise, grow and yield in abundance and all this will lead to goat milk, stories, music, theater, retail, housing, yarn, flowers, children and other things to flow like water. In a good way.

    2010 started with the unexpected death of a family member. So yes, time to put this one behind us…

    When our son was born the anesthesiologist was kind of annoying to Kelly. So baby pee’d on him as he came out, thank you very much and right on target.

    A few years later when our daughter was via C-Section. And then we were told she had Down Syndrome and the whole world turned upside down for a while. For a while I said.
    One of the things we read that really helped us was an article about how having children with special needs is like planning a vacation. You read up on that place, learn all there is to know about that place and are looking forward to that place. Then when you get off the plane you’re not in that place, but another completely different place. And you get upset and scream and yell that you didn’t want to go to THIS place, you planned on THAT place…. but eventually you calm down, look around and figure out this place is nice too. And you read up and learn about this place. But all your friends went to THAT place and they’re still talking about how much fun they had at THAT place. And you say Yes, I meant to go to that place… but I went here instead and I saw all these things. And it’s a pretty nice place too…

    Great New Years to everyone!

  13. Question: How will life on the Baboon trail go in 2011?

    The cards predict an important change of luck, as in a job that is in a traditional setting. They show many distinctive and remarkable personalities involved, but that the environment is quite temperate. They also predicted wise use of resources and affluence.

  14. We will do a lot of road trips to see people we love, and they will have plenty of room for us. Husband will finally have a physical and get a clean bill of health. We will discover that my mom’s assets have recovered enough that she can move to Twin Cities to an excellent assisted living place. My beloved family across the street will reconsider their plans for divorce and stay together happily. I will shed 30 pounds by June, and perhaps find some flexible, meaningful part time work.

    Baboons will continue to gather and listen to and support each other in all out endeavors, and post things that make us all snort tea and coffee and laugh out loud.

  15. I keep reading that the way to make God laugh is to make a plan. And if you want him/her to snort coffee, make a prediction. Oh, you bold baboons with all of your predictions! If I were to make a realistic prediction it would be that life might be a tiny bit better for most of us in a year.

    But why be “realistic”? I had a summer romance in 1962 during my only trip to New York City. I met a Dutch girl there and spent two days with her. I didn’t really learn much more than her name because we were kissing too much to do any talking. I just located her again. She’s a painter in Buenos Aires. We are exchanging email after a pause of 48 years. So . . . a prediction? I predict that Elgen and I will be married by this time next year, spending time alternately in Argentina and along Lake Superior. That isn’t going to happen, but it has about as much chance as most predictions. It is sweet to dream.

  22. Greetings and a very happy New Year to you all!

    The best thing that happened to me in 2010 was becoming a baboon and getting to know all of you. A toast to 2011 – may we all be healthy, happy and blogging on!

    I’m not good at predictions. I’m seldom even good at optimism anymore, but I do believe that this Congress will continue to grow and be as fine, sensitive, humorous and affirming as it has been all along. We’ll welcome new voices with the familiar ones, and our online chorus will grow and become even more colorful than it is now.

    Thanks for the visions of Pete Seeger and Arlo Guthrie at Rock Bend, Linda. That would be so cool! I’ve had similar visions for Rock Bend – a mystery artist whose identity would be kept secret until the moment they’re brought to the stage. How exciting and memorable it would be to have someone like that! What a gift for us to give to our friends! That would be a very good thing, indeed.

    May you all have everything you need, and a little more, to keep you creative, energized and happy in the coming year. I hope to learn and grow from all of you and I hope that I can give back as much as I’ve already received here. Be happy, healthy and at peace!

  23. The earth will continue to spin on its axis, though some may be convinced otherwise, for another 365 days. It will rain, it will snow. Both good and bad will happen, but there will be Baboons through all of it, providing wisdom and wit (see all of above as evidence).

    I may not manage to turn the Best Buy stock around single-handedly – though that would be a swell story to tell. I’d settle for being made a real full-time employee instead of a contractor. I’d like to hope Darling Husband will find good, full-time work somewhere. Daughter will continue to amaze and amuse me. And I shall write an amazing novel about invisible things. Or maybe a pretty good novella about something else. Or at least write something.

    Good New Year to all – may it be joyful and triumphant.

    So they call it Old Lang’s Sign

  28. Greetings! A fine final day of 2010 — no need to look back at this one. Although I did drive by our old foreclosed house last week on a whim. Someone bought the house, hopefully fixed up some of the major shortcomings inside. But they had big Christmas lawn ornaments outside and they were in process of taking down big old maple tree that needed to come down. Some mixed feelings there.

    Anyway, I find it hard to express how much you all mean to me. I may not have met most of you, but your caring and humor have been the light of my day on many occasions. Being a democratic baboon in the 6th district is a lonely existence and I wish you were all a lot closer.

    For 2011, I foresee me getting my Black Belt in Karate and either getting a full-time position or starting a fun, successful business –like importing handmade textiles, leather goods and jewelry from Ecuador. Just need that angel investor …

    Jacque, I would enjoy hearing your Tarot card reading. I have a lovely set of cards, but no intuition. My husband has more intuition than me.

    I’m resonating with the predictions of health, wealth and good times for all baboons on the Trail. A Prosperous and Delightful New Year to all!
