In 2008, I resolve to:

Posted on January 4, 2008 by Patrick

I’m not keen on having just one resolution for 2008, as I have a lot of behaviors I’d like to alter, plus I figure having a bunch assures me that at least a few have to come to fruition. So in 2008 I will:

  1. No longer use disposable coffee cups at my favorite brew stations; instead, I’ll carry a travel mug. Each time I break this resolution I will pick-up and recycle 5 pieces of recyclable litter.
  2. Go at least another year without a car. That is unless I mysteriously have a child and have to cart the little bugger around Whoops! I got a car.
  3. Keep inappropriate jokes to a minimum in front of strangers, colleagues and people of strong religious morals.
  4. Floss my teeth each day
  5. Increase family visits by 100%, which means I spend at least 16 days with my folks in 2008.
  6. Pay attention to detail, closer attention to detail, professionally and personally.


Here’s to another incredible year!

    I think those resolutions really fantastic - I know that sounds quite vague but when I read them my head tilted a little and a smile/smirk came over my face…like…wow those are perfect. Don’t have a little bugger just yet - your life is too fun! Increasing family visits is key - we should try to get back to OH around the same time to hang. Keep nurturing your creative side it is entertaining and inspirational.
