Patience: Yes I know it’s the name of a Guns and Roses classic.

But it is also my New Year’s resolution. Except it’s not so much of a resolution as it is a daily goal: to be more patient with myself and with others.

So maybe (in spite of the stupid name for their latest and apparently “long-awaited” album) Axl Rose was on to something way back in ye olden days of rocke musicking.

(Please be clear when I say “long-awaited” this does not apply to me)
