2. buying OS 10.6.
3. buy a house (okay, its a long shot)
4. have fun.

Re: New Year's Resolutions 2009 !

Try to hold off getting another job until it becomes obvious that I can live on my trading income.

May not have much choice in that regard, anyway.

I would resolve not to make any stupid resolution but I would be making a stupid resolution in the process.

This was my resolution for 2005.   Did 1 and 2.  It's the best thing you'll ever do.  As for #3... well, lets just say it's still on the list for 2009.

Re: New Year's Resolutions 2009 !

Ride my bike to work 9/10 days all year.
Keep my household organized better. Financially and physically.

I'll be happy with those. Both realistic and very attainable.

I'll second that. In my case I will take the liberty of linking this to "stop being such a miserable bastard."

And add -beating my credit card balance into submission (phrasing courtesy of Curly Howard)-so I can renovate more of my house smile

I intend to continue my resolution of 2008; I pledge not to involve myself in firefights in 2009.

I didn't think it did. That was self-referential as I had just made one, 'breaking' a NY's resolution even before NY's Eve.

Dr. Bat prescribes reframing the issue musically, with this as the past/present, this going forward. Plenty more in the pharmacy/armamentarium; perhaps extra doses of this and this are indicated. Take as needed and post me back in the morning. smile
