2009 -- A New Beginning

I resolve this year to do a better job getting my occasionally crabby side under control. That's tough in a newsroom under deadline pressure. I'm asking for God's guidance and help.

All of you have your own resolutions (or, you resolved to stop making them). But I ask that we as a nation add a few collective promises to the list.

* We resolve to give the new administration a chance before dumping on it like the Los Reales landfill.

* We resolve to see partisanship for the cancer that it is and prevent it from infecting any more of our government.

* We resolve to stop putting our money into exotic investments we don't understand, even if they promise to make us stinking rich.

* We resolve to keep our money in banks that set tougher standards for loans.

* We resolve not to let our possessions run our lives.

* We resolve to understand all our texting, Twitter tweets, IM's and e-mail will never replace the impact of a face-to-face conversation.

* We resolve to wear, not throw, our shoes.
