Since this is the dawning of the year of 007 I thought I'd make some New Year Resolutions to match. So, with James Bond as my role model, I do resolve:

• to drink more martinis, shaken, not stirred
  
• to introduce myself by my last name first
  
• to do whatever I do imagining what the accompanying soundtrack might be
  
• to wear a tux more often, even while jetskiing
  
• to always deal with authority with gentle contempt and a crooked smile
  
• to trust my wits more than I trust gadgets
  
• to get an Aston Martin before year's end, flamethrower optional
