New Year's Resolutions?

Now, I thought a resolution was the closing of something, something resolving to a settled state. So it seems a bit odd to start each year with resolutions. But it's a tradition, and I'm feeling that I need a new beginning now more than ever. So here goes:

1. I resolve to blog more often. Not that anyone in their right mind believes me; not that anyone ever reads my blog. But still, I need regular quiet reflection on the "State of Dave". So blogging is as good a way as any to do this. Beats playing more Internet Spades!
2. I resolve to bike and walk more often, only driving when there is a significant reason to do so. There's no need for most of the little car trips I make around town. The van should be for long trips, groceries, and taking the kids longer distances.
3. I resolve to stick to basic daily routines. I need to keep on top of a lot of little things that I generally ignore. These are things that I could be doing "automatically" by just starting up and sticking with some basic routines. I already have these written up in accordance with the Flylady's Household Control Journal system. I just have to start using my journal. Every darned day.
4. Oh, and I'm not going to pretend that I'm actually going to start dieting, but there is a relatively simple measure that I resolve to take on: I resolve to cut High Fructose Corn Syrup nearly out of my diet. I can't say that I might not suck down some Gatorade if I'm on a long bike ride on a warm day, but generally I want to avoid sodas and candies made with ADM's horrid HFCS. Nasty evil stuff, I'm telling you.
