NEW YEAR'S RESOLUTIONS
Well, it’s time again for the annual list of disappointments-in-waiting. Otherwise known as resolutions. I was going to look over last year’s list before writing this, but after some searching I don’t think I wrote one for 2010. I did scrounge up lists from 2006 and 2007.

NYC WINTER STORM
For a few days this week, Astoria, Queens looked like rural Montana.

I have been so busy this Christmas, a little overwhelmed by everything that was supposed to be completed by the 25th, and I’m still not done. I will finish, though not before Christmas, but Ive accepted that. So, with that in mind, I took a few hours after work last night, away from the stack of cards left to write, presents yet to wrap, envelopes still to address, and packages waiting to be...
