Starting
the New Year Right
By Lana
Walker-Helmuth, Managing Editor
You're reading
this column after I've toasted in 2003 with a flute of champagne. I'm
excited about the new year and what it will hold. Walter has listed some
of his goals in his column—out there
for the whole world to see. That's good for accountability.
And because
I believe that a dream becomes real when you write it down, I hereby write
that this year I will buy property and build a house. My background in
technical communication and managing projects are certain to help me navigate
through the daunting process. Right? Stay tuned.
