I made a New Year’s resolution this year. I resolved not to make any more stupid New Year’s resolutions until I’d done at least some of the things I resolved to do in 2007. But now I have realised (because I revisited my old Blogger blog) that actually I have achieved some of them, and so I am faced with a dilemma, which always sounds to me like an animal with an improbable number of legs. Should I call that a success (the achieving not the dilemma) and start thinking up NYR’s for 2011, or should I attempt to complete the rest of the ‘07 stuff, and put any of that on the list that hasn’t yet been done at that juncture? Or just blunder along for the rest of the year, unencumbered by goals, and decide at the eleventh hour to give up drinking for the whole of January or some equally implausible and pointless thing?
