In 2011 I Hereby Resolve …

What’s New Year’s Eve without a few resolutions? Here are mine:

Be more accountable. When former TV anchor/reporter Brad Hawkins, now a spokesman for Southwest Airlines, was busted by cops on a public lewdness charge in a Dallas park, I made a joke here regarding Southwest’s LUV symbol. But when the charges were later dropped, I failed to note that on FrontBurner. Which wasn’t fair to Hawkins.

Don’t have such a short fuse. After my car was broken into in a DART parking lot the first day I rode the light-rail, I swore off DART here for good. That was dumb. Even though I’ve never parked in a DART lot again, I’ve  ridden its trains since and most always had good experiences.

Trying to save money, do not order in sliced turkey breast instead of a full cooked turkey for Christmas dinner even though you know your Better Half prefers the dark meat and the turkey legs. After that happened something else almost got sliced, too.

  1. Should you have included something about;

    -Learning US History.
    -World religions.
    -The US Constitution.

    It would avoid things like this:

  2. Maybe you can also drop your trademark, “Thanks for Asking,” after you burn your short fuse.

  3. @TT: When the minister asked Glenn, “Do you take this woman. . .?” Glenn replied, “I do. Thanks for asking.”

  4. By bringing up Brad Hawkins, we know one trait you will not be getting rid of. Why are you the only journalist in Dallas so taken with that story?

  5. OK, Count me as your most unlikely biggest fan because by posting this you laid to rest the small talk that makes small minds think big. You stood to gain nothing by posting this much appreciated recap postscript. Which makes you stand tall in my mind’s eye. Happy New Year.
