Resolving to revolve around the sun once more

Another orbit and what have we done? New Year's resolutions have done for tedious weight loss programs what Valentine's Day did for Hallmark.  Growing up, January was feared as the month when mom and dad vowed to stick with their cabbage soup diet *insert your own, Atkins, liver detox...etc.* and forced the rest of the clan to suck down cabbage soup by the gallon with them. Sidenote: I have never had an iota of cabbage since that dreaded January. It's become a consumer ploy for capital as thick as VDay's.

Resolutions? Get to Africa before 2010. ...and change certain social behaviors I think need adjusting.
