Well, today's the 18th...Just about 3 weeks into the new year...So far I have managed to uphold my new year's resolutions...Nothing too big mind you...I don't like to set too high a bar for myself...But so far, so good....

So far...

I have reaquainted myself with the public library...The newly remodeled Santa Monica branch is truly a glorious structure to behold...Who knew after all these years I'd still be able to ace the ole' dewey decimal system?

I have also manged to use chopsticks 100% of the time when dining on any varietal of asian cousine...I must admitt, this was a resolution "carry-over" from 2005, but I only did it ever so often, when the convenience of time was on my side...Usually fumbling with my sticks only to give up mid-meal and switch to the standby fork...I'm proud to say I can even pick up the small pieces now....

There's a couple others, I regret to admitt I haven't stuck to all that much...I still drink too much coke, and I haven't really gotten myself into a strict writing schedule...But I do refer to public bus drivers as "Cap'n"...."Mornin' Cap'n"...."Thanx Cap'n"...They seem to get a kick out of it and a smile don't cost a red cent so...You know...

Hope all is well there and elsewhere....

p.s. T.P.Moe we need to go for a shot and a beer soon...What are your days off?
