I normally don’t do this. My belief is that resolutions must be made upon one’s birthday, in that they will last longer afterward. Most resolutions for New Year’s are made on January 1 and forgotten by January 3. This time, however, I’m going to put together some resolutions that are tied to certain dates, moments…
