It's Probably Too Late for Resolutions...
Yes, yes, I know it’s the end of January, but I know what I’m going to do in 2011…or rather, things I’m going to do.

I was thinking about making a “Ringo Starr Magic Eight Ball”. I figure it’ll go something like this…

I suppose I should mention that I’ve entered NPR’s Three Minute Fiction. So….
I’VE ENTERED NPR’S THREE MINUTE FICTION.
I’m keeping my fingers crossed, but I’m not holding my breath. It would be cool to be picked as one of their favorites, though.
