2012 Resolution #11.

April 22, 2012

In my “Resolutions for 2012,” #11 was “I shall make an 11th resolution before April 30th, 2012.” I now have one. I am ashamed to confess that I have never seen the Bears play in person. But this fall, I shall atone: the Jags will host the Chicago Bears in October. And I will be [...]

2012 Resolution #10.

February 28, 2012

In my “Resolutions for 2012,” #10 was “I shall make a 10th resolution before February 29th, 2012.” I now have one. After doing a bit of cleaning and reorganizing ’round the house this weekend, it occurred to me that roughly 82% of the total mass of my house is books. In fact, two of the [...]

2012 Resolution #9.

January 29, 2012

In my “Resolutions for 2012,” #9 was “I shall make a 9th resolution before January 31st, 2012.” I opened the floor to suggestions, and Dr. Hmnahmna’s idea seems good enough. My buddy “As I’m A Bassi” is getting married over Memorial Day weekend in Rochester, and the timing virtually demands that I fly up there. [...]

Resolutions for 2012.

January 10, 2012

Resolution time again. First, let’s have a look at my resolutions from all the way back in Twenny-Levvin went: 1. I shall ride the exerbike for thirty minutes (or engage in the substantial equivalent of other exercise) at least three times per week. Nope. I played a few seasons of 7v7 and rode the bike [...]

2011 Resolution #12.

June 22, 2011

In my “Resolutions for 2011,” #12 was “I shall make a 12th resolution before June 30th, 2011.” I now have it, though it’s essentially a repeat of last year’s final resolution. Today marks nine years that the ‘Rolla and I have been together, and (roughly) one year since I first resolved to replace it. It [...]

2011 Resolution #11.

April 30, 2011

In my “Resolutions for 2011,” #11 was “I shall make a 11th resolution before April 30th, 2011.” I now have one (aside from changing “before” to “by” next time around, since that’s what I intended). In a recent chat about times long past, I mentioned that my second-least favorite part of my high school art [...]

2011 Resolution #10.

February 23, 2011

In my “Resolutions for 2011,” #10 was “I shall make a 10th resolution before February 28th, 2011.” I now have one. When I collect a gaggle of essays from my students, I usually grade them over the ensuing weekend. That way, I have a solid block of time to get them graded all at once. [...]

2010 Resolution #12.

May 31, 2010

In my “Resolutions for 2010,” #12 was “I shall make a 12th resolution before June 30th, 2010.” I now have it. I just got back from a nice little extended weekend, spent visiting the Hmnahmna Family, the Mole Family, and Chip. I would have seen some other friends, but they had lame excuses like “I [...]

2010 Resolution #10.

February 21, 2010

In my “Resolutions for 2010,” #10 was “I shall make a 10th resolution before February 28th, 2010.” I now have one. It will require effort. It will require planning.  It will require, as all good resolutions should (which I suppose means some of mine aren’t good resolutions), resolve. I hereby resolve that: 10. When I [...]

Resolutions for 2010.

January 4, 2010

Happy New Year, and here’s to the Twenty-Tens! (This reminds me: I have to post a transcript of an argument over whether this year constitutes the start of a new decade.) Time to renew some old resolutions, new some new ones, and old some old ones. Let’s see how my Aught-Nine resolutions went: 1. I [...]
