Last week a dear friend asked me a question, and I’m going to ask you the same one: do you make New Year’s resolutions?

It’s the end of September. The END of September – how did that happen? If it’s true that time flies when we’re having fun, we must be having a LOT of fun, right?
The Presidential election is in six weeks. Thanksgiving is in two months. The first night of Hanukkah and Christmas Day are the same date...
