Never been one to make resolutions myself. Seems like people never stick to them. But this year things are going to be different — Isn’t that how the idea’s supposed to start? I sat down to think about things that could make a difference in life for me and mine. Problem is it could fill a book the size of War and Peace. Hopefully you won’t laugh at me. But if you do ... good. Because that’s one of my first:
