First, what is the value in yearly New Year's resolutions if ten days after the fact they become obsolete? It seems to me the value in resolutions is revisiting all the things we should be resolving all year long over a short few days. That is, worry about all the things we should be doing then drop it and get on with life. But hey, it's America and that's the way it is.
Second, why do the diet and weight loss purveyors hock their wares in January? Could it be we've gorged ourselves for two solid months and now we're ready to look back and realize we've been gorging ourselves . . . for two months? Or is it because of the above resolutions?
Finally, if we all miraculously become thin and healthy, what's left to fret about? What would Barnes and Noble sell in the diet and weight loss section, Fender Repair Made Easy? Bonsai Gardening tips? Shoe Lace weaving??
