I make New Year’s resolutions, and sometimes I even keep them.  I don’t always make them on January 1.  Sometimes I make them in July or any other old time.  When I think about what I’m doing they’re useful things.  Mostly mine involve exercise, or wine, or both.  One year it was eat more hominy.

This year I made a number of resolutions: don’t drink in January, but starting only after we get back from Portugal (which has some great wine); read better books, particularly on Audible where I tend to listen to trash; catch a fish on the fly in each state.  It’s that latter that this is about.  I want a record of my fish.  Fifty fish.

I’ve caught fish in lots of states, and some other countries, but this will be a fresh start.  No prior glories here.
