25 New Year's resolutions I can keep

1. Gain weight. At least 30 pounds.

2. Stop exercising. Waste of time.

3. Read less. Makes me think more.

4. Watch more TV. I've been missing some good stuff.

5. Procrastinate more. Starting tomorrow. Maybe next week.

6. Stop bringing lunch from home: Eat out more.

7. Get in a whole NEW rut!

8. Spend my summer vacation in Cyberspace.

9. Create loose ends.

10. Get more toys.

11. Get further in debt. (Actually, this one is my wife's. I just thought it would be nice to join her for togetherness.)

12. Believe politicians.

13. Break at least one traffic law.

14. Avoid airplanes that spontaneously drop 1000 feet.

15. Associate with even worse business clients.

16. Spread out priorities beyond ability to keep track of them.

17. Wait around for opportunity.

18. Focus on the faults of others. Emulation a goal.

19. Mope about faults.

20. Never make New Year's resolutions again.

I don't want to burst your bubble but I will bet anything those are the only ones from last year he was able to keep and not break so he is just reusing them this year.

Besides ,if Jack retired then he would have to actually go to work , he has it made ...... his work is less stress then retirment and pay's more.

It's my understanding is that the more he pays them the more willing they are to keep him on. :?

Chuck,

I hate like hell to have to admit it, but it's an old Woody Allen line. Everytime we have a fund raiser at the Lodge, an older friend and I always offer to have a kissing booth for $5. We tell them, "It would be more, but that's about all we can afford to pay."
