New Years Resolutions

So this year I have a new theory on new years resolutions. Anastasia and I were talking about them on Sunday as we were driving back from Missouri, and I decided a more productive strategy would be to come up with things I am resolved to get done by New Years Day. Normally people come up with grand ambitions that they don't follow through on, so instead why not pick a few things that need to get done, that you don't want to do, and that could realistically get done in the next few days. Say, hypothetically, reorganizing your books so that they are not strewn about the living room floor, cleaning out the "junk drawer" so that one could fit a phonebook or two inside of it, and getting the basement utility area clear so that one could actually walk around in it. We will know how this one turned out on January 2.
