Resolutions Schmesolutions!

I've never believed in making new year's resolutions. I've yet to see one person keep even one of theirs, and I firmly believe that if you truly want change in your life, you don't need a particular day to begin to bring about that change. But some people...I dare say, most people...make their declarations of change every year, just in time for the clock to strike midnight on December 31st.

What is it with people and that date?

And what is it with other people and staring at red circles on their calendar? Jeez...the nerve of some folks.

I believe this is where I enter into my usual "Bah Humbug" attitude. It's been a surprisingly chipper December, minions. Something had to give. And with a self-enforced non-writing week, I've got to find something to grumble about. (plus, I'm totally bummed that Backspace is down--even though it's due to the amazing efforts of Chris Graham & Karen Dionne working hard to improve our forum)

I suppose I could work on removing that obnoxious little blue/purple tag on the word Home on my website. But at this point, it's pretty hopeless. I did, however, manage to get blogger to publish my blog title's apostrophe (thanks to the happy voodoo of a minion named Francis). So, the grumbling, for now, doesn't amount to much.

Two weeks from tomorrow, Vlad goes to see the publishers. I hope they like him. He's a good kid--even if he does have a smart lip on him...

...and fangs...
