Where did the year go? Same place as the decade, I guess. Every year I wonder how it got to be December, and I'm struck by all the things left undone. Forget money, forget forget power - time is the ultimate currency. We only get so much, and we squander almost all of it.
But not all of it. This weekend I do one of the few really selfless things I do all year - playing Santa for a group of orphans. Every year I'm scared to death of the event. It's too much like acting or dancing. I can give a speech in front of thousands, but acting....no thanks. And every year, once I get over the fear, it's great. I can hardly imagine the challenges those kids have been through and have yet to face, so it feels good to try and give them a little.
