I got a haircut today, and the chitchat with my hair-guy (he's fabulous by the way, Jeffrey at Salon Baobao), after the requisite trip through pop culture and our mutual appreciation of Lady Gaga, turned to the topic of New Year's resolutions. He hadn't made any for 2010 but had in 2009 finally completed his 2008 resolution, which was a pretty impressive accomplishment. I feel like it's not my place to share the details of his undertaking, but what he told me inspired me to start taking care of some of the unfinished business in my life, even if the "deadlines" are passed.

Being the consummate procrastinator that I am, there are quite a few past-due items on the old to-do list. I've decided to start tackling them in an fairly easy place -- this blog. So over the next little while I'll be going back through old drafts and finally posting all the unfinished pieces I meant to write over the last several months.

Thanks, Jeffrey, for the cut and the inspiration.
