Starting the new year right

I DECIDED to make my New Year's Resolution simple this year. And for once, I fulfilled it. I made a resolution that required only two weeks of focused determination.

Read my lips?

LISTENING to the radio on my way to Charlottesville Monday, I heard a roundtable panel on C-SPAN discussing the Republican candidates and their prospects for winning the race.
