Monday morning writing joke: “A.M.S.”
A writer walks into a bar on New Year’s Day.
He takes a stool at the bar and says to the bartender, “I’ve been studying on resolutions and how to keep them.”
“And what have you learned?” the bartender asks, bringing the writer a mug of his favorite beer.
“To succeed, a resolution must have three things. It must be achievable. It must be measurable. And it must be sustainable or repeatable.” He finishes the first mug of beer.
“And so what have you decided?” the bartender asks.
“I’ve decided to have another beer. That way, I can start on a resolution that is achievable, measurable, and sustainable. At least as long as the money holds out.”
“And what happens when the money runs out?”
The writer says, “I’m going to write about it to say whether or not it’s true.”

Photo finish Friday: “Pink Elephant Highball”
If you wake up on New Year’s Day and see this in your yard, you may have had one too many.
Or maybe the GOP is trying out what they hope will be a more user-friendly mascot: a pink elephant that would like to have a highball with you. If so, maybe that’s only meant for the high-dollar donors who have given them most of their campaign war chest.
Either way, be wary, very wary if you wake up and see a pink elephant with a highball in front of your home.
Happy New Year.
