edited January 2010 in The Clubhouse
Talking with co-workers yesterday during lunch and the topic came up about how good we've each been to our resolutions for 2010 so far. Out of curiosity name yours and if you stayed true.

I vowed to ignore all political pundits on radio, tv, and in print/Internet, no matter what their ideology or level of passion. Instead I've focused on reading only raw factual data or first person accounts (i.e. embedded reporters). I realize it isn't perfect, but not allowing the pundits to pollute my own thinking ability has made me more honest to myself.

    I'm still working in my 2008 resolution (getting my whole house cleaned out and organized). Then, I'll move on to 2010. But you know what? I'm serious about that 2008 resolution - I give myself grief about it everyday. And I am actually making slow, but incremental progress.

    Uh, huh. I guess the blow up dolls, chickens and yourself are not included in this list, huh?
