Mine are to not drink as much, to stop womanizing and of course to lose some weight. Hard typing holding this beer, however. Is it noon already? I've got a date with that little number upstairs in half an hour. Hope she likes pulled pork tacos for lunch.
You really took that resolutions are made to be broken philosophy to heart. Good job! ;;D

Are those the models from their octogenarian catalog?
Hey, Jane Fonda’s almost up there and still looks pretty damn hot. :)

My youngest daughter and her friend made me go into Victoria’s Secret for some Christmas shopping. I put a lot of distance between me & them while in there, and stared at the exit, as I figured proximity and eye contact determines how creepy everyone thinks I am.

Anybody come by and spray you with perfume or mace?

From my Facebook:


Sure, I have resolutions. They don't mean more than resolutions any other time, but the turn of a new year is a good time to focus on goals with a mind toward getting them... ummm... resolved.

1. Lose 25 pounds.

This is doable. I've done it before. I have good reason to be motivated in terms of feeling good and living longer.

The probability of success is the question. Yes, I did it before. In 2011. With a heart attack fresh on my mind.

2. Publish three books.

I'm on a quest for dialogue that generates more light than heat. We should know by now that if someone isn't basing opinions on facts, data, and the obviousness of experience, all the discussion in the world isn't going to be persuasive. It's time to engage productively.

This one is doomed to failure.

4. Be more productive.

I sometimes am astounded by how much time I spend on things that are better spent elsewhere. Take Facebook or SKMB, for example. If I really looked at how much time I spend here versus time with family, or work, or writing, you know, I'd probably just up and lea
