So … some folks consider New Year Resolutions pass\u00e9.  And, certainly, there’s something to be said for “resolving” every day to do what’s right.  And there’s something to be said against the standard cycle of promises made-and-broken.<\/p>\n

That said, I’m a traditionalist, if nothing else, so here are a few to toss out there.  In fact, as reflections of last year, they are, pretty much, an ongoing tradition:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Spend more time with Kitten<\/strong>. Keep up the karate stuff, but also be more involved on a daily basis with her homework and other stuff.  Get that time in before she decides that Daddy is (like New year Resolutions) pass\u00e9. <\/li>\n
  2. Get my virtual world in order.  <\/strong>Get my blogs updated and cleaned up.  Increase traffic to WIST.  Get my photos caught up, including the stuff I have on other sites.<\/li>\n
  3. Write. Edit. Write<\/strong>. No real progress with that this past year.  It’s not clear to me how, amidst all the other commitments I have, how to leverage this — but it’s something I really want to do.<\/li>\n
  4. Be fit<\/strong>. Repeat the 1,500 miles, keep up the karate — and find a new Geek Diet tool.  Get back under 200 by June, and to 185 by the end of the year.  There are some things I can do toward that end (that are sustainable and rational); I just need to do them.<\/li>\n
  5. Ditto<\/strong> for last year’s addendum<\/a>, of course.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Reasonable plans for the future, stretch goals, or crazy-ass pie-in-the-sky?  I have no idea — but let’s see.<\/p>\n

    And here’s hoping that for all of you, 2008 is at least as good a year, if not better, and that the New Year brings joy and prosperity to you and yours.  Happy New Year!<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
