if you can't shake the urge
---------------------

Marquette's Lower
Harbor still has open water, but the yachts are all in dry dock.
We had an amazing 2001
and we're ready to "kick it up a notch" in 2002. Many thanks
to all of our guests.
Happy New
Year!
--------------------
If you can't shake the
urge to resolve come New Year's, think
hard about what's motivating you.
Is it guilt? Let's say you
resolve to be nicer to your nasty,
truculent neighbor. Why would
you do that? If the
neighbor didn't deserve your wrath, you
wouldn't deliver it upon him.
Resolve instead to tell him what an unfun
creature he is. Maybe he'll
be the one to change.
Michael Segell,
MSNBC, This year, resolve not to resolve.
