Happy Happy It's the first day of 2008.

The Sox are the reigning World Champions, and the Patriots just completed the first perfect 16-0 regular season, the Celtics are shooting to be just the third team in NBA history to start 27-3, and America's Team is climbing up the polls.

So what is their to bitch and moan and pity about? Good question. I'm sure I'll find something.

But until then, there's plenty of "unfinished business" to take care of. At rough count, 16 in the regular season, then three in America's Seaside Resort, then a few others in selected cities.

Then its onto figuring which fork in the road to take. There's a bevy of other rivers to cross in '08.

But it's not going to be done in the next 100 minutes, hours, or even days. It'll require patience - of which I have none - and vision. It'll require maximum effort. It'l require some major league overachieving. And some luck, too.

Because as Radiohead says, you can try the best you can; the best you can is good enough.

Here's to trying the best I can, everyday all day. See if you all can keep up, too.
