If you could write something down, put it into a shredder then bid goodbye and good riddance, what would your ta-ta look like? 

The name of the heartbreaker who broke your heart? Your IRA? A woulda coulda shoulda didn't happen love connection? A number on the scale? 

See ya, bye bye, don't come back, never again. Done.

Of course you would, if you thought it would work. But you, like me I suspect, probably know that you have little, if any, control over your resolve. 

Is an intervention in order?

I've never quite understood the once a year resolution concept. It seems to me that I resolve to change my behavior on a daily basis. Therein, perhaps, is the error of my ways. Perhaps a "once a year" expunging would, like a trek to Mecca, work its magic. 

Or not. 

Except for Election Day. We did, after all, make George W and Dick Cheney go away. Didn't we? Good riddance.
