Resolutions

I often find that when you make lofty New Year resolutions, it's only a matter of time when they fall through. So, I've decided to keep these resolutions small but attainable as I turn 30 this year.

--Stockpile more ideas for stories in When We Were the Kids.
--Keep exercising the rate that I'm at, and not be afraid to work a little harder.
--Do something different on vacation compared to what I normally do when I get home.
--Try to watch all the regular DVDs I own on my Blu-Ray player and flat screen TV.
--Read more books; so I can catch up with all the books I've bought in the last few years.

Led by the smooth, warm pipes of vocalist/guitarist Rob Dickinson (cousin of Iron Maiden’s Bruce Dickinson), Catherine Wheel featured Brian Futter on lead guitar, Dave Hawes on bass and Neil Sims on drums. They weren’t a pretty-boy guitar band, but they weren’t a scuzzy bunch of ragamuffins either. Though the band hailed from England, Catherine Wheel found itself more welcome on American air...
