“Some people are always grumbling because roses have thorns; I am thankful that thorns have roses.” ~Alphonse Karr
Many of us begin the New Year by making resolutions. By February, the majorities of those goals – even the modest ones we thought we could keep up with – slip slowly away, and...

Isn't there something attractive about a clean slate? I think it's one of the reasons people make New Year's resolutions year after year when most of the time they forget about them by February first. We love a clean slate. We love the idea that we can wipe the past clean and start over. I watched...

I think all of last year I may have read a not so grand total of six books (if that), not taking into account graphic novels. I really hate that, because I've always enjoyed reading, but for some reason just really couldn't get into it last year, so this year, one of my resolutions (though I...

After a careful round of calculating self-analysis, I’ve concluded there’s no need for me to resolve anything to improve in 2009. I’m already an outstanding family man, friend, employee and all-around great guy.
I cherish most of my prime vices -- bourbon, cigars, beer, sloth -- and nurture them...
