New Orleans     Whew! Glad 2005 is over, so we can move forward some way or another. What a year!

Here are some quick resolutions to help make 2006 happen right:

• Stay home more. Given my four months away just on Katrina, I’m going to make this one happen.
• Make sure New Orleans gets a new Mayor. Ray has got to go!
• Get the insurance money for the house and camp. For the life of me I couldn’t get a dime out of them in 2005, so either this happens now or let’s go bankrupt no matter what the new laws are like.
• Try to get on top of anger. This post-Katrina rage thing is out of control!
• Improve my Spanish. I say this every year!
• Get a dog again. The yard seems naked without one.
• Get ahead of this fast train.

How about you?
