Resolutions

January 2, 2010

It’s the season of resolutions and although I don’t usually make ones for New Year’s, this year I do have a few goals I’ll be working on.  I’m continuing my New School Year’s Resolution of getting my shit together.  It’s going well — we’re moving on to phase 2 — and I’ll hopefully post an [...]
