My New Year's Resolutions

I've given the list of my New Year's resolutions a lot of thought. This is what I've come up with:

Lose more weight...again.

Make more time to get back to writing some serious non-blog/non-political stuff.

Stop wasting time with fools who Just. Don't. Get. It.

Start practicing with the long gun (Remington 700).

Make sure to foist at least one New England Yankee pithy saying or tall tale upon an unsuspecting tourist or flatlander every month. Maybe even go as far as sitting out on the front porch of our local village store when I lay it on them so they can go back home and tell their friends and neighbors "They really talk like that up there in New Hampshire!"

Don't run for political office this year. Wait a year and try again in 2012. (Its gives the folks here enough time to forget how many times I've run for office before...and lost.)

Spend even more time out on The Boat this coming summer.

Win the lottery. (Actually, we've won the lottery many times, but only for $2 to $20 at any one time. I wouldn't mind winning a bit more than that, like maybe $50 or $100.)

That's just about it.

Have a Happy New Year!
