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.

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.

Re: New Year's Resolutions 2009 !
1) Get a raise 
2) Get more time to spend with my son
3) Get the right numbers to win the mega millions! ( a real long shot) so I won't need # 1 and can do # 2.

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

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.
