I Suck At The Tavern On Proprietor's Green

Karen and I generally don't make resolutions for the new year. This year, however, we had discussed possibly having a resolution to be more active and to eat a little better. After all, neither one of us has done anything remotely athletic since our two year old daughter (Briana) was born. And realistically, it may have been even longer than that with our son's (Braden) passing two years before that.

So needless to say, my body is definitely not a temple... although maybe in terms of shape. So in keeping with our resolution, Karen and I... went out to eat at the Tavern on Proprietor's Green in Marshfield. Too bad I suck at the Tavern on Proprietor's Green.

In our defense, we were heading in that direction anyway because we were going to Roche Bros to do some shopping. Sadly, the store did not have any tiny shopping carts, so Briana had to push a regular sized shopping cart. Briana was a little disappointed by that.

The Tavern, however, was quite delicious. I had baked haddock, which I suppose makes it twice in three days because I made haddock for Karlene and Tommy on New Year's Eve too. I guess I've been on a fish kick of late. All in all, it was a great dining experience.

We don't really go out to eat that often, so maybe we're not breaking the resolution just yet.

I Suck At New Year's Resolutions

okay, so maybe i'm a little late with making a new year's resolution. yes, it's true...i suck at new year's resolutions. after all, today is way past the beginning of the new year. in my defense, i was on a cruise during the start of the new year.

anyway, i generally do not make any resolutions when the new year starts. this year, however, i figured i would join the masses and make a resolution for 2009. my resolution is very simple: to have a better year than 2008. i figure this resolution should be easy enough to obtain. (famous last words as i jinx things by saying this resolution should be easy to obtain...) after all, this year can't possibly be as bad as 2008... and not that 2008 was completely bad... just the latter portion of the year which my son (braden) being born and then subsequently passing away shortly after. that was almost four months ago... (braden would have been four months old to this day.) needless to say, i'm still trying my best to resume some sense of normalcy after that shocking turn of events.

hopefully, things will turn out better in 2009. if they don't, then i suppose i can always turn to my friend, mr. booze. i will then toast like homer simpson and say "To alcohol! The cause of... and solution to... all of life's problems." i'm just kidding. but here's to a good year...
