Resolutions


    PERSONAL ENRICHMENT
  1. Try out one of my business ideas (or develop a new one and try it)
  2. Make a farm fruits cookbook (several for each fruit type we grow).
  3. Learn to sew - sewed a baby crib fitted sheet
  4. Learn a new word starting with every word of the alphabet
    • Bees Knees - urban slang for awesome. That's the bees knees.
    • Chuffed - pleased with one's self. Presidential candidates are often chuffed with themselves for having proposed a solution to a problem, but typically lack substance or details on how to go about it.
    • Effeminate - marked by an unbecoming delicacy or overrefinement, having feminine qualities untypical of a man, not manly in appearance or manner.  
    • Frenetic - frenzied or frantic. I become frenetic, at times, when talking about topics important to me.
    • Nebulous - Lacking definite form, shape, or content. The Brooklyn Free School has a nebulous curriculum
    • Prodigious - Remarkably or impressively great in extent, size, or degree. D’Souza is a prodigious author of conservative tomes.
    • Revile - to criticize in an abusive or angrily insulting manner. Overspending during the current administration was reviled at the New Orleans Investment Conference. 
    • Troubadour - 11th-13th century poets in France, Spain, and Italy who composed songs of love.
