As 2008 approached, Brad and I decided to get serious about some New Year's Resolutions. These weren't just a couple of off-hand goals that we tossed around to soon forget. These were concrete, life-altering, quantifiable changes that were going to happen, thus making 2008 the "Year of Brad" and the "Year of Unfortunate Lawyer."
I won't bore you with the details. Suffice it to say that it's February 25, and I have followed exactly zero of these "resolutions." But not only am I not the Improved Unfortunate Lawyer that I had hoped to be -- I am now an enormous liar as well.
Because Brad is a good friend, he questions me about how the Year of Unfortunate Lawyer is progressing. Here's how these conversations go:
Brad: I worked out this morning - you?
Me: Yep. And last night.
Brad: Have you been following that budget you made?
Me: Sure am. And I'm paying off that credit card, too.
Brad: How's your writing coming along?
Me: Really well.
I have big plans for 2009. Resolution: When talking to Brad about how resolutions are going, throw in some "failures" to make "successes" seem more believable.
