"Ring out the old, ring in the new,
. . .
Ring out the false, ring in the true."
--Alfred, LordTennyson
I've often heard that you are a lot more likely to accomplish your resolutions if you put them in black and white. I've done this with some success in the past, but what the hell, maybe I'll get 'em all accomplished this year:
1. Lose 15lbs.—Weight on 1/1/07 is 208 lbs
2. Read the Bible 20 minutes/day
3. Read James Joyce’s Ulysses before going to Ireland
4. Read 20 books this year
5. Start Walking/Exercising 20min/day
6. Send Thank You Notes
7. Solve a Tuesday NY Times Crossword, then Wed., and so on
8. Write Congressmen re cancer funding in general, and stem cell research in particular
9. Write letter to Melissa and boys
10. B’day cards to boys
11. Be around to make 2008 resolutions
I'll tell you about the California trip later this week.

Tom, Glad to hear your Christmas was wonderful! Hope your trip to CA was good too. Too bad the Hawkeyes could not pull it off for you, but I think they will be better now that they are through the Drew Tate era. Great resolutions. Our top 2 are the same! We need a FFL get together, but in case one does not happen soon... we need another outing.
Good resolutions! I should add B-day cards to your boys on my list too...
mine are:
1. get married
2. join a gym and go there
those both seem big enough that the list needent be longer, eh?
looking forward to hearing about the trip!
Best of luck with the Resolutions. I didn't make any this year, but hopefully things will be better this time next year than they are now.
Stay strong, and I'll do the same.
