I asked my wife if she had any resolutions and was told, “No.”
“Why?”, I asked.
She replied, “because I don’t keep them.”
So, in light of this new philosophy of resolutions, I am proposing the following revisions to my Resolutions.
Resolutions:
1. Maintain or gain weight through the next semester by ignoring any sort of balanced diet.
2. Ride bike no more than twice a week.
3. Make daily prayer a waste of time by never really talking openly to God or listening to Him.
4. Focus more on the lecture notes and less on whether my students learn anything.
5. Bring work home with me.
6. Continue my current lack of spiritual leadership to my family by not teaching them about God’s word at home.
7. Don’t relearn NT Greek
8. Don’t read the numerical analysis books on reading list
9. Publish no more than once, possibly not at all. Present no more than two talks, possibly none at all.
10. Make sure to take Lori on no more than 3 dates the whole year, possibly none at all.
11. Don’t play.
Here’s to failure!

If you do the opposite of each one, that’s quite a list. I made 2 or 3, but very easy to keep short-term goals.
