It is time for me to succumb to the human custom of the New Year’s Resolution. I am only two, but I have already observed that resolutions are made to be broken. Statistics show that only 8% of the resolutions made, are kept. That’s pretty sad, people.

I found out that the top five resolutions for humans are;  loose weight, get organized, spend less, enjoy life, and get fit and healthy. No wonder you break them, you bore yourselves to death trying to stay interested in them. So, I went on the internet to get some ideas. I came across something interesting that might be helpful, if not for me, then for the rest of you.

According to Chris Allison, some of the top resolutions for Red Necks are the following: 1. Take down the Christmas tree from 2007, 2. Stop the dog from trying to dig up cousin Wilbur, 3. Replace the duct tape on the toilet seat, 4. Fish the cell phone from the porta potty so we can retrieve our wedding pictures and 5. Finally wear a shirt to church. At least those sounded useful.That got me to thinking about my own resolutions. Doc helped me come up with some, but then I went back and made some moderations I can live with.
