Resolution number three spontaneously manifested itself last night after having been discussed over the weekend. The resolution was basically: less television. Several books we had ordered last week arrived and immediately after dinner, instead of hunting for some good Discovery channel fare I sat down reading and plopped Angie's books on the coffee table. She began to peruse as I read and we finally clicked off the TV (kindly turn off the electronica, Rusty) and began reading in earnest. I was frankly overjoyed at the development and when she began regaling me from her book, I knew we had made a good first step.
With new obligations that we have taken on this year, we both really need to be at the top of our game, and I think that for all of the awareness of the necessity we are still not aware of the level of effort and the need to change our habits. This may sound a bit abstract, but it will make more sense as the year progresses.
