New Year's retribution
New Year's retribution
Unlike most years, I decided to start 2021 with a few resolutions that I hope will make me a better husband, father and member of the dude denomination. I also realize that I'm likely to break these resolutions within the next few minutes. But at least I can say I'm flexible and open to change.
