Well, a new year is upon us, so I thought I’d start it off with my traditional New Year’s resolutions. I try to make them somewhat realistic, since those are the easiest ones to keep. That’s really the key to resolutions — make them doable.

First, I’d like to recap 2025. It was an interesting year, but it’s best to focus on the good things, so here goes: I had my first calendar published, which meant my first time being in Target and Walmart, and the calendar sold out on Amazon. My wife’s position became endowed at Cornell, which is very nice — thanks, Seneca Foods. Daisy, our 8-year-old puppy, has fully recovered from her torn ACL and is back to her active self. Our son seems very happy in Buffalo, and his tennis game is improving.

So, no complaints.

Now, on to the resolutions.

First, I’m going to try to remember to breathe, stay in the moment, and only worry about things I can........
