Poll Wednesday: New Years Resolutions

Posted by Jack on 12.31.2008 at 8:10 am

“I want to read more in 2009.”  
“I want to lose 10 pounds.”
“I’m going to get up earlier.”  
“I’m going to work so much harder this year.”
“This is the year I write my novel.”

Ah, New Years resolutions… we’ve all been down that crooked path to “self-betterment” and the optimism of another fresh start.  So, simple question: do you make resolutions and do you keep them?

Happy Memorial Day

Posted by admin on 05.26.2008 at 6:22 pm

Hey all, Happy Memorial Day!  Hope you’re enjoying some barbequeing and friends and honoring those who’ve sacrificed for US freedom.

If you’re looking for some good reading on the topic, may I suggest the following:
The Things They Carried by Tim O’Brien (drama, fiction)
The Greatest Generation by Tom Brokaw (non-fiction, very well done)
The First World War by John Keegan (a real authority on the topic)
Slaughterhouse Five by Kurt Vonnegut (a totally screwed version of someone who was involved in the Dresden bombings… typical (awesome) Vonnegut)

Enjoy the day off get some reading done to remind you of what people did to get you more than just a four day work week…
