Resolved: Ah, Never Mind

IN YEARS past I've spent the first day of the new year contemplating the prior 365 days and, like the rest of America, determining how to better myself over the next 365. Also like the rest of America, I've historically resolved to eat better, exercise more, be a better husband, father, and employee, read more, and so on. Had I time to conduct such reflection now that 2007 is here, I'm sure the list would have read very similarly, with specific goals targeted toward where I am now and where I hope to go by the time 2008 rolls around. But with a newborn on the scene and a significant wrinkle in my employment situation (more on that tomorrow), I'm content to recycle previous years' resolutions and simply wish everyone a peaceful and prosperous (however you define that) new year.
