No pop for the rest of eternity. Or as the non-chicagoans call it, soda.

Plan a Hawaiian vacation for me and the bride — I’ve succeeded at reneging on my promise to take her on the our 20th, 25th, 30th and 35th anniversaries and I think her patience is wearing thin.

Go to a fee-based financial advisor at Vanguard for a thorough checkup on my retirement savings strategy.

Read more books and less screens. Probably only read three or four last year. Already knocked out Hillbilly Elegy this year and am working on John Hodgeman’s Vacationland now

Lose the 20lbs I regained after losing 40 after last years resolution.

If only losing it was as fun a gaining it…

Earnest-

Let us know if it is worth it. I have been thinking of doing that exact thing!

Comment by Ole' Nelson Thursday, Jan 4, 18 @ 4:30 pm
To stop using exclamation marks in my comments. They get held every time.

Lose weight / exercise more. Gets tougher as I get older.

Production over consumption.

Make this last semester of teaching the best one ever and stop telling everyone how long I left before calling it quits after 34 years in the classroom (by the way, it’s 177 days).

Do less, produce more.

Off subject. Watching the Untouchables. Was that filmed in Chicago?

Comment by blue dog dem Thursday, Jan 4, 18 @ 9:11 pm
Make my home more peaceful. I’ve got a quote on basement seepage solutions, have organized and thrown out some stuff, so…so far, so good. But February is just around the corner…

And blue dog dem @ 9:11 — At least some of it was filmed in Chicago. There are scenes in the train station; and when he’s in the phone booth he’s actually on the U of C campus at Crerar Science Library.
