Creative Query: New Year's Resolutions

Have you ever kept a New Year's resolution? If so, what was it? If not, do you still make them? Why?

OK, that's more than one creative query. Never get an old* reporter started ...

*I've been told to never call myself an old reporter. Former reporter, possibly. Some have even suggested recovering reporter. Never old. Whatever. As Popeye would say, "I yam what I yam."
