I have a travelling companion. The ever-sharp Budget Naginata read my manifesto and has decided to wander the path alongside me. I couldn't ask for a more brilliant partner in this exercise. I cannot say that I'm necessarily looking forward to the next 371 days, but I will say I am glad I won't be out there by myself. Now I have even more motivation to stay honest.

Adjust sword. Take one step forward.

There.

Now we've begun.
