There seems to be very little variation when talking about New Year's resolutions with my family. We are tricked into thinking we've come full circle and, thus, that we can make a new start. As a family that hates waste. we prefer to start the year off economically, with our recycled resolutions from last year. Year after year, my morn swears she will learn how to bake that perfect blueberry pie. My sister will say she'll take Krav Maga lessons, and my brother will promise to move out of our parents' house for good. Only my Dad doesn't see a point in making resolutions -- there isn't anything to improve in his life, and when it comes to the lives of others, it's none of his business. But as we all know him to be a superficially self- sufficient know-it-all who, in reality, would not survive a day without nay mother and the company of the sports channel, nobody really pays any attention to anything he says. Ever!
