Every New Years Day, many people make resolutions filled with hope and ideas of change. Some make long lists. Some just a few. As for your dad, I only make one.
To make this year better than last year.
I make this same resolution every year. Luckily, each year I have been able to live up to it.
Here are a few examples:
--I used my own money to produce a play I wrote and made my money back even before the play opened.
--I formed a performance troupe and toured one of my plays nationally.
--The day after Christmas(98' I think), I convinced a theater in Hawaii to commission me to write a play.
--I proposed to your mom after performing to a sold-out audience of play that I wrote and she directed.
--I studied with two of the most amazing American playwrights.
In 2008, I achieved my resolution by getting into graduate school at Northwestern.
And in 2009, it was you.
I can only imagine what I am going to have to do in 2010 to top having a son.
I'm sure I'll figure out something.
And if I don't, I'm fine with that.
Happy New Years.
Love.
Dad.
