SO IT'S A BRAND NEW YEAR ! 2010

You know, very few things can bring out the secrets people have like a new years resolution or a few glasses of cheap champagne.

For example, people that really want to quit smoking, or are overweight, or have an addiction to fried Spam & eggs tend to resolve to fix their problems as the clock turns midnight.

Unfortunately when one wakes up the next morning needing a smoke, and hungry, coupled with a deadly hangover it's sometimes difficult to even remember the stuff we spouted last night, much less do it.

For married folks it is a little different. For example, last night at the stroke of midnight, I was looking for my kiss from the redhead, but instead I got the following statement:

"This year YOU are going to do this & that & this & that & the other thing, and while I'm at it you're also going to do this & that & this & that & the other thing !"

I'm asking myself, since when did her resolutions become my resolutions?

NO, NO, NO, I didn't slap her, (but I thought about it for a brief nan0-second) Instead of being angry it occurred to me that the things she was resolving for me were all healthy stuff, both mentally and physically.

Less coffee, more exercise, less fatty foods, less beer, more time out of my office, and all that kinda stuff. Stuff that could keep me around longer.

This means she must really really love me.

I must be important to her !

I guess in reality I'm a pretty lucky guy that she makes my New Years resolutions for me. I'd probably waste them on goofy crap like learning to parachute from a plane or break the world speed record on a Harley Davidson, or grow the longest mustache in Ohio history.

Well, I need to go get some Alka Seltzer and a bag of ice for my hungover Redhead because I care about her too. I am proclaiming her resolution to be less of the bubbly on future new years, and if she gets her way I'll be around to share them with her.

Take care of each other.
