Joke-of-the-day! Start your day off laughing...or at least snickering.

Just in time for tax season...

A businessman on his deathbed called his friend and said, "Bill, I want you to promise me that when I die you will have my remains cremated."

"And what," his friend asked, "do you want me to do with your ashes?"

The businessman said, "Just put them in an envelope and mail them to the Internal Revenue Service and write on the envelope, 'Now you have everything.'"

Must...keep...resolutions!

Seriously, January's almost over, but I can barely believe it's begun.

So I ask myself, "Will I ever catch up with the present?"  Well, what's so bad about living in the past, right?

I'm forcibly posting in order to keep up with my resolution to start (and therefore) keep this blog going.  That was resolution number 5, I think.

Resolution number 1 is to finish what I start.  I don't have a problem with that.  I hate half-assed anything.  But in order for me to keep any subsequent resolutions, I know I had #1 to answer to first and foremost.

Resolution number 2 was something absurdly stupid, yet immensely gratifying.  If you haven't already played Words With Friends on your iPhone, iPad, or whatever else device...then what are you waiting for!  I've been playing it for some time, and am rarely beaten.  What an ego boost!  Well, until I encountered Erik Scalavino from Patriots Football Weekly on Twitter (@PFWErik).  He will beat you senseless.  So I resolved I would defeat this word champ, and defeat I did!  Yes, it only took, um, a bazillion games.  But I won!  The game immediately after my victory was the most humiliating defeat, though.  I'm glad I resolved to only win once.

Resolution number 3 was to hit the hay before midnight.  That isn't going so well, but at least I'm trying!  It works, like, 30% of the week.

Resolution number 4 is to run a 5K race.  There's no improvement in that department yet.  I still run 1 - 1.5 miles on the treadmill.  I need that number to go up.  I'm working on it.  But all the pilates, yoga, cardio, toning workouts are still going on as strong or better than before.  I just need to get into a running groove, you know?

Resolution number 5 is, as mentioned above, to start/keep this blog.  It all seems a bunch of nonsense now, I know.  The real reason to keep the blog is related to my daughter.  Those are some pretty immense posts I have yet to do, hoping to muster up the courage to share myself and this ordeal with the world.  I've been asked to do this for over a year, but haven't had any courage to do so until now.  That's when I decided 2012 would be a year for more courage, a year of change - not spare change - of which I will speak of.

Later.

So...

How are YOUR resolutions holding?
