I like ducks. There are too many bobble-head dolls in the world; I figure the maximum number should be around twenty-three. There is no governor anywhere. Fnord. Napalm jokes are not as amusing as some people think they are. Never eat anything bigger than your head. Remain calm. Kinky Friedman is a very funny fella. Good music can be painful. Watch your head.

New Year's Resolutions

OK, so here we go - no particular order, just as they came to me:

1) Lose weight. Like 80 pounds. But I'll be happy if I can drop 50.

2) Relearn how to write in cursive. I tried to do it the other day, and I was both shocked and dismayed to find that not only is my handwriting atrocious, I've even forgotten how to make some of the letters. This issue came up when I heard a news story that they're not going to teach cursive handwriting (we used to call it 'penmanship' in my day). Seems like something I ought to do.

3) Esperanto. I have been toying around with it. I think it is something worthwhile. I probably won't be able to find much in the way of resources around here in Detroit, but I'll look around. Maybe some tapes or something. Why Esperanto? Well, I have no idea. So there you go.

4) Dancing. I can't. I want to. Ballroom style, not the Hustle or the Locomotion or whatever these dang fool kids get up to nowadays. Might tie into #1. Don't tell Mrs. Wiggy.

5) Get my photo files in order. I'm serious - this is terrible. I've got hard drives, CD's DVD's, and negatives all over the bloody place. No organization at all.

6) Get my teeth fixed. Man, they're getting to be a problem. It's not like I don't brush, dadnabbit.

7) Do more writing. Blog, journal, and just generally jotting down all kinds of things.

Now, I don't really go in for New Year's resolutions. I have no idea why I'm doing this one.

So on with the show. Happy New Year, my droogies. Let me know what your resolutions are - we'll all get together and humiliate each other next year at this time.

Smooches,

Wiggy

Well, I hope you're successful.
My New Year's resolution is to stop making stupid resolutions.

So that means you won't be bothering me with this next year?

1) I make different resolutions all the year round. I make your first resolution, to lose like 80 lbs., about every month. :)

2) I can tell you this about teaching cursive: the preponderance of high-stakes testing has severely impacted the time available for penmanship and other worthwhile pursuits.

5) and 6) Ugh. Me too. Trouble is, I hate organizing AND dental work. Double ugh.

My main goal of late is to think more positively, and to visualize good things happening in my life. It's tough so far, but I'm working on it.
