I am laboring with what I hope is the tail end of the fourth cold I have had since the end of October–two in December alone.  Ugh.  So, I am afraid that my new year’s day spirit is somewhat dulled by all the cold medicine.  (I get on a plane for San Diego tomorrow morning, so getting all the head congestion out of the way today is a primary goal!)

Nevertheless, since New Year’s Day is commonly associated with resolutions, I thought I would offer one in the spirit of the BLPB.   It’s not your typical new year’s resolution.  But my co-bloggers and most of our readers will no doubt find it oddly familiar . . . .  Here goes.  (Oh, and happy new year!)
