A very good friend of mine is a self proclaimed gym rat. He goes everyday, sometimes twice a day, and stays for hours. I envy him his dedication. It's easy to keep doing something you love, he'd say. This time of the year, he gets a bit cranky, though. He's used to normal traffic of the gym and, with all of the people with fresh New Year determinism, it's hard to find a place to park or a free piece of equipment. He calls these folks "the Resolutionists." These seasonal health freaks who will slow down, and then stop coming all together sometime between now and mid-March. Mostly, he's of the opinion, I think, that they're just in the way of the serious gym members.

I started this post about New Years resolutions, and I never followed through on finishing it up. It was going to be about how we pick this time of the year to make changes to our lives that are deep and meaningful. I couldn't finish it. I think that might be symbolic somehow. So here it is in its undoneness; along with a promise to stop making resolutions that don't last the year.
Being back in full swing after the holidays does have its perks. John Stewart is back. Last night he delivered this awe inspiring message about trying to have a conversation about gun control. I think he's onto something. I've missed him. I've missed you guys, too. Here's the clip, if you're someone who sleeps instead of watching late night television.
