It’s traditional for me to list my New Year’s resolutions every year. Many times it’s just a matter of revising the prior year’s list, but I still believe that “if you write it down you do it.” (See Post #415). Tonight we visit a restaurant favorite, Holdfast, to celebrate the occasion. I enjoy wishing others “Happy New Year,” especially since it has no religious or political implications. Here is my annual plan:
