    >    Hey are we related, this seems to be my life story too.

    The resolutions in .4 are supposed to be a list by the same 
    person over each of the last few years :).  For the humorously
    impaired, they're supposed to be a joke, but, as you pointed out,
    sometimes they're all too true :}.

Boring Stuff:
-------------

Do a mass purge of garage contents.

Rearrange the laundry room, where angels fear to tread.

Replace the plastic bubble skylights in my bedroom (the last two remaining 
in service in the U.S.) with glass ones.

Fix the roof this spring.

Sappy Stuff:
------------

Spend less time being obsessed with work and more time paying attention to 
the people I like.

Be worthy of the friendship of the guy in the mirror, but also be able to
accept his approval.

Never forget that the guy in the mirror has many impostors.

Listen to what people say when they're talking rather than ponder what I'm 
going to say next.

Pay closer attention to the little voice inside, trust it, and most 
importantly, act on what it tells me.

Add no further members to my cat family, but spend more time showing them I 
love them, even if I do have to disturb their naps to do so.
