My New Year’s Resolutions – 2025

Last year sucked in many ways. Unfortunately, it’s unreasonable to expect eight billion people, viruses, and the forces of nature to better themselves in 2025.

Sigh.

So it’s up to me to improve our world.

I hereby resolve to

1) Not eat mushrooms
2) Not eat lutefisk
3) Not wear pajamas all day long unless quite ill.

Many of you, no doubt, notice that I make these same resolutions and that I keep them, every single one of them. Thank you.

What I’m Giving Up For Lent

Giving this up for Lent

We’re encouraged to give up something for Lent. Doing so makes us a better person. So okay, I’ll forego something as well.

Sigh.

Okay, here’s my sacrifice.

I’m giving up lutefisk and mushrooms for the Lenten season.

What’s that you say? That must be hard.

It is, but I’m blessed with an iron will. Once I’ve gotten the Lenten bit between my teeth,  I keep going with my no lutefisk and no mushrooms vow until the start of next year’s Lent. Whereupon, I make a similar resolution. My resolve is in indeed unshakable. Happy Lent, everyone.
