New Years Resolutions

New Years' Resolutions? Do you rate them?

Broadly speaking, I am in favour. I am a great believer in having yardsticks available by which I can measure my failures. Without defined goals, how else will I be able to beat myself about the head for the remainder of 2011, for failing to live up to the great expectations that I had whilst sipping a glass of cherry brandy on January the First?

So - when you see me next December - a few pounds heavier; struggling financially; and hated by all my family for failing to spend any quality time with them - don't judge me too harshly, for I will be doing that myself. And planning to remedy it all in 2012 of course.
