Если хочешь изменить мир, сначала изменись сам. (If you want to change the world, change yourself first.) as my Russian grandmother used to say. I'm kidding! I'm taking the word of the Moscow Times [Link] and Michele A. Berdy, in a piece on resolutions for the new year, The Year of the Flying Pig . It is something to consider though as we are about to dive headlong into a brand, spanking new year.

"In many places today, kids don't come home and jump into their play clothes and run out and play...so camp has become the neighborhood playground."
I do not believe in astrology. Not me. However. I do like to read them sometimes when they're entertaining, such as this, from The Village Voice, is. I'm not a Scorpio, but this seems like pretty good advice from Abe Lincoln. Free Will Astrology [Link] Rob Brezsney.
SCORPIO (Oct. 23–Nov. 21): In 2007, you'll need to find power to do the half-right thing when it's impossible to do the totally right thing. To help you do that, remember this advice from Abraham Lincoln: "The true rule, in determining to embrace or reject anything, is not whether it have any evil in it; but whether it have more of evil than of good. There are few things wholly evil, or wholly good. Almost every thing is an inseparable compound of the two; so that our best judgment of the preponderance between them is continually demanded."
