my best


I have no particular plans for this evening.  Such are the vagaries of aging. 


So, I will pass along my wishes to all of you for a nice new year.


Even though we live in a world where each of us live within our own envelope of conditioning and we are each affected by different circumstances, we are moral agents who have the ability to choose our own path.


May we choose wisely.

"we are moral agents who have the ability to choose our own path."A fine sentiment amigo. Happy New Year to you and Jordan and your mom and the rest of the gang

Feliz Año Nuevo!

I broke my pinkie mid-month, which is why I have not been such an active commenter of late.  Hopefully it will be better in a month or so.

Am in DF w/F where we will celebrate late into the night in true Mexican style.

Saludos,

Sorry to hear about the pinkie wound. We will all welcome back your comments in 2012.

Spending a new year's eve party in Mexico City may be what I need.

Steve Cotton said...

Thanks, Mom.  I think it will be.

Steve Cotton said...

Laos goes on the list.  But what is the adjectival form -- Laosy?

I thought it was appropriate.

What a great choice of words, amigo. "We are moral agents who have the ability to choose our own path." John quoted it but it's worth a third write-up. 

ANM said...

Mr. Cotton, you seem to have shifted one or two of your meta-ethical positions regarding free will and responsibility.  Are you trying to touch off a serious moral/religious squabble?

Well, I'm choosing not to rise to that bait.

ANM

PS:  happy new year

Good fortune, for the coming year and travels!

Steve Cotton said...

Fortune has been quite kind to me through my life.

Steve Cotton said...

But, sir, you know my meta is as flexible as a politician's wallet.

Steve Cotton said...

But John said it better.

Steve Cotton said...

Better than I did.

Steve..best wishes for a Happy New Year and I look forward to reading about your trip to China.  I am sure glad you had a chance to see Beth while you were in Salem.

It was good to see her -- and your mom.  Too bad I did not get to see you on this trip.  You should come down to Mexico on of these days.
