One of my New Year's 2006 resolutions, was to start a Blog.
"But isn't it still November?" you ask.
Yes, it is. But another resolution I have is to get a jump start on these things as much as possible.
Why?
These days, things are changing faster than ever, and you have to run ahead just to keep up. If stores can start putting up window displays for Christmas before Halloween, I can get my Christmas shopping done in September and avoid that Friday after Thanksgiving crowd. The most practical Christmas presents I can get for the nieces and nephews are back-to-school supplies. And they can open and use those gifts right away rather than wait until late December to use that stuff.
On March 1, I can tell people their shoes are untied and actually fool them.
In April, I can take my mother out to dinner for Mother's Day and have no problems getting a reservation at a decent restaurant.
October 31: Celebrate New Year's in Times Square and not freeze my *?#! off.
Even the US government is getting into the act by starting Daylight Saving Time a few weeks earlier starting in 2007.
Best thing about this is if I break my resolutions in the next few weeks, I can take a mulligan and start over on Jan 1. Or I can consider this pre-season for resolutions. :-)

I see you already deleted a comment. Pretty good for a new blogger. Must be that gay porn spambot.
No matter. I like the idea of pre-living everything. After a few years of gaining a week here and there, you can actually drop dead early, with the satisfaction of having lived "a full life". You die a winner.

Might be a little too late for any of the three to apply to me.
