Seriously though. Have you heard that old story about the guy that has a ranch? One of his cows has a baby cow and he comes up with a bright idea: Go out everyday and pick it up. The thought behind it then is that when the baby becomes a full size cow, he can still pick it up.
Well in the New Year I've decided to do something similar, in the name of science. Would this actually work? Doubtful. But perhaps what I am doing will. Instead of picking up a cow, I've decided to pick myself up by doing push-ups and situps everyday. Starting January 1 I did 1 of each, by the time I get to NYE 2009 I hope to be doing 365 of each. I'm doubtful that it will work, but hey it's worth a shot!
In other news, school starts back tomorrow. I'm not really looking forward to going back to work. But I am looking forward to seeing my kids. I have a new resolve after a good long break. I want to try and reach out to ones that I perhaps shunned during the first semester and continue to build on the foundations I set up with everyone else. I think it's going to be a great semester, especially if we can get it all planned through tomorrow at inservice.
So I decided I'm going to start occasionally asking a question of the day for you 5 or 6 readers to respond to in the comments. Today's question: Do you believe in New Year's resolutions? If so, what was yours?
Stay safe kids.

A Farmer who thinks he will eventually be able to lift a full grown cow. You know that sounds an awful like an Aggie's logic, and you found inspiration in that. It's never to late to turn to our side
