We were finishing our late afternoon ToDo errands list. You know, return books to the library, pick up a chicken at Costco, and get a specific cat litter found only at Walmart.

Happy New Year. The greeting and statement of renewal, absolution, and betterment. We’re one-third of the way into the new venture, and if the world continues its normal rotation functions, nearly 80% of us will fail the resolutions game by February. Let me add more positivity.
