Shit. I was hoping somebody would pick that up and run with it.

My NYR is to get **UncleBeer** to interact with me in a thread. Sweetie, ever since you became a mod, you don’t talk no more and you never stop by the van down by the river and where the Hell is that six-pack of Mickey’s you promised me back in aught one?

Weeeell, I haven’t been doing well with promises, lately (I’m currently honoring a particularly unpleasant one at the expense of my faltering sanity), so I’m a little cautious about resolving anything.

But upon reflection, I think I’ll learn to play guitar. That should be a fun resolution.

Best of luck to all you other resolvers! May 2003 bring you joy, prosperity and (for those looking for love) fulfilling romantic relationships!

I lied. Here’s my _real_ New Year’s resolution.

I hereby resolve to either:

1. Go to a MN Dopefest.

OR

1. Organize, host and go to a MN Dopefest.

OR

1. Go to the 2003 Chicago Dopefest.

That is all.

Oh, and homebrewing. Get back into homebrewing. Pour out that 35 gallons (!) of too-old-to-bottle crap down in the basement and start over.
