New Year's Resolution Meme-ish Post

I don't make New Year's resolutions, so I'm delegating the job to you. Post a polite resolution for me. There's no guarantee I'll keep it, but one never knows…

OK.
"I, Charles, resolve to take at least a half-hour lunch break every day that I am at work."

I can do this— although not necessarily at noon, or even nearly noon. It depends on the workload, and how many urgent shipments have to be ready an hour before the shipping deadline.

I will keep reminding myself that I am a musician and... musicians make music.

One of my holiday presents this year was a set of three David Lanz piano books, to go alongside last year's Mannheim Steamroller piano book.

From having followed along with the CD on several songs, these seem to be the actual music, as recorded; not simplified or fake-book style, but the genuine scores to many of Lanz's solo piano works. So, they're not just music to learn and play, they're also insights to his style and technique. Good stuff.

"I resolve to read more library books."

[kitsap_charles]

Of late I've been doing this. Our county library has an online catalog with reservation capabilities, and I've read a couple dozen library volumes over the last few months. I'll do it more, even though I reserve the right to (save for and) buy books I really really really want to own.

Don't put anything down in the wrong place.

That coffee cup you just drained? It gets walked to the kitchen. The mail? Immediately gets sorted and filed or tossed or whatever. The dirty socks ...

It saves energy in the long run, and helps keep things organized.

(Happy new year!)
