Yup, everyone's making their resolutions, and I'm no different. Well, ok, I'm a little different... (I heard that!) Here is my list of Top 10 "Non-Resolutions" for 2008.

#10: I will not stop eating salty snacks while I write this blog. And frankly, I don't care how greasy the keyboard gets. Gee... The letter "S" sticksss... How did that happen?

#9: I will not blow $33,995.00 on a Hasselblad digital SLR camera. Sorry, but the Hasselblad is beneath me. Besides, why should I deprive you of such masterpieces as the shot below?

#8: I will not give in to the temptation of leaving that last slice of pizza, just so I can watch a crow fly away with it later. (Ok... I lied... I'll do that for sure.)

#7: I will not fail to give comfort to "birds" Condoleezza Rice and Michelle Malkin should they both stumble upon our doorstep simultaneously on a dark and stormy night whilst soaked and laden with beer. (The wife gives her permission on this one. For the life of me I don't know why she isn't threatened by the thought of that kind of realistic female competition.)

#6: I will not curse neighbors who let their cats roam. (Ok... I lied again. I'll curse irresponsible pet owners right into the River Styx.)

#5: I will not use birding projects to justify boat building projects. (Ummm... Let's just "pencil in" that non-resolution.)

#4: I will not try to show our cat "Toby" the birds that amble just beyond the glass sliders because he simply doesn't get it. (One of his nicknames is "Captain Dial Tone". You get the idea.)

#3: I will not discourage the wife from feeding the birds in the morning.

#2: I will not discourage the wife from feeding the birds in the afternoon.

And the number one "Non-Resolution" for 2008 is...

#1: I will not... Whoaaa!!! Wait a second... I think I hear someone at the front door! It must be Condi and Michelle! Gotta go!

See you by the feeders, and man will I have some stories to tell!
