Resolutions

Being Jewish, I have two New Years: the one on January 1st, and Rosh HaShanah. For whatever reason -- probably because it coincides with the beginning of the school year -- Rosh HaShanah has always seemed more like the start of the year than that weird date in the middle of winter. This time of year, therefore, is when I make resolutions.

I usually try to pick one or two items that either seem reasonable as goals or, if unreasonable-sounding, are things I really want to accomplish. Some past goals:

• get myself a paying on-air gig on the radio
• get myself a Real House and out of my condo
• lose weight (when I do this one I avoid setting a weight I must lose because I consider that insane for me)
• get my blood pressure down
• lower my stress level
• get a permanent job
• improve my housekeeping

Every year I've had one obvious thing I've wanted to fix in my life. This year, however, is different.
