Over the past several years I have forgone the yearly resolution in favor of a yearly theme. This practice I lifted from Benjamin Franklin….

2005 was the first for my Yearly Themes approach to a new year. I began by making a 36 hour trip to New York City to watch the ball drop in Times Square. The crowd was huge and I did not make it into Times Square but I could see the ball drop. [...]
