So, I've decided on three New Year's resolutions. First, let me say that I think it's really important to make resolutions that one can actually keep. That way when 31 December rolls around, we can all feel good about ourselves. So here are mine:
1. I resolve not to pee in anyone's backyard. NB: This resolution is really an "homage" to a good friend of mine. He knows who he is.
2. I resolve to brush my teeth (with either toothpaste or baking soda) at least once a day.
3. I resolve to drink one glass of red wine each evening, as we now know it's good for our hearts. The glass of wine, however, may be waived if I have a beer or if I have a small serving of dark chocolate (also good for the heart).
I'm certainly taking requests for further resolutions.

Every year I resolve to read Mortimer Adler's How To Read A Book, thinking that it will help me to read other books. I never get it read and I suspect its because I don't know how to properly read a book.
Doug,
It sounds like a weird, vicious cycle. Maybe you should skip Adler and just read the things that you really want to read. I know this is what you do anyway. Have you read C.S. Lewis's Til We Have Faces?
I have read Til We Have Faces. In fact, more than once. I think I'll read it again. Thanks for the suggestion.
When I wrote that comment, I was feeling cynical about resolutions and Adler's book just caught my attention again. It a new year's thing for me.
