Major Spoilers Question of the Day: New Year’s Resolution Edition

While your humble MS-QOTD ain’t one for resolutions, preferring to “be the change you want to see in the world”, as espoused by either Gandhi or Dick Van Patten, I forget which, it is that time of year for Year-In-Review features and lists of all the things we had wished were different about the preceding three-sixty-five.  While there is a case to be made about whether a resolution is actually useful in the long run, I will not fault those who want to use the calendar’s restart as a way point for betterment.  It’s our nature, after all, to find patterns that may or may not exist, and the date 1/1 (or, as they mark it in Europe, “1/1”) has the same inexplicable cache as a fresh new pad of paper, or the moment where your paycheck reaches the bank before your bills do.  It’s the fresh, new snow just waiting to be turned into a snowman and covered with your bootprints, which in turn begs an only-somewhat-less-floridly-composed query…
