I don't do resolutions. Sometimes I do them at other times of the year. When I do, I make sure they are realistic. Even then I often do not achieve them. But I am the sort that frets when I don't meet my own expectations so I am careful not to set them too high.

I like to drive up highway 1 around the new year. My daughter Mary and grandson Joey are here at my home with me now. Mary, actually, is at a Bikram Yoga class (try to get me in one of those...). They are going to visit Mary's dad a bit later, then visit a friend. There won't be time today to drive up the coast. And Mary leaves tomorrow. So Joey and I can make that trip if we feel like it, another day soon.

I am sick. I have some sort of cold that is causing congestion, coughs, watery eyes, and unfortunately I have a bout of conjunctivitis. Claritin seems to help with that.

I am still doing the wii fitness coach workouts when I feel up to it, and yesterday the three of us went bowling. So I am not doing nothing.
