   Happy New Year's, folks! I hope you've had a fun New Year's Eve and
   are ready to face 2007. Do you have any New Year's Resolutions? I'll
   confess, I have a couple. I'm not sure I want to share them all, but
   I'll talk about a couple:
    1. First, I really, really want to publish a book. I'm not sure I
       should resolve to actually publish it, as that depends a lot on
       publishers ([1]my resolution last year was to publish a story, so
       I know how much of that is out of my control), but I do resolve to
       make inquiries, something I kept meaning to do last year, but I
       never got my books into good enough shape that I thought they were
       ready.
    2. To maintain discipline with my exercise. I actually have a pretty
       good exercise routine, with running four times a week and weights
       three times. I feel like it's reasonable in its time commitment
       and physical strain. The problem is that occasionally something
       comes up that breaks the routine--such as Christmas vacation, or a
       business trip. While I think it's okay to miss a few days because
       of that, I sometimes let those breaks stretch out into a month or
       two before I'm back on the routine. You may know how it is... the
       longer you're off, the harder it is to get back. I intend to avoid
       letting those unavoidable breaks stretch out this year.
    3. I'm making one other that will make my Mom happy, but I won't give
       her the satisfaction of reading it here.

   Okay, that's it. You have any good ones?
