The Onion could have written this story. Unfortunately, it’s a real New York Times piece. Tough times from ‘08, hoping for a better ‘09. Happy New Year everyone.

  1. A good list. A few thoughts:

    *Blogging 3x a week is quite ambitious–I salute you.
    *Half marathons are good, but if you really want to feel like you’ve accomplished something special, go for the full marathon.
    *Read 15 minutes a day, and you should clear 12 books on the year.

    Good luck with your resolutions, Jesse, and have a happy new year.

  2. Thanks for the reading tip. A full marathon is on my life bucket list so I might as well do it.

  3. for watching less tv, I recommend getting rid of it all together. You can select tv programs and watch them online!
