Ah, New Year’s Day.  The Rose Parade.  Leftovers from last night’s party.  The lazy twelve-hour reality TV marathons.  And of course, the resolutions! 

What is your 2009 resolution going to be?  Did you live up to the ones you made for 2008?  Mine is the same every year: turn my negative energy into positive energy.  I did pretty well in ’08 but hopefully I can do better this year. 

Let’s try a little expirement.  What resolutions should the City of Long Beach make for 2009?  I have a feeling I know what many readers will recommend, but let’s see if we can come up with some creative ones.

Wishing everyone happiness and success in the New Year!  Take care from the lbpost.com.
