Table Talk: 'New Year's resolutions'

By Karen Hartman

This feature is called Table Talk because many of the responses are gathered across the tables at Cashmere's weekly Community Dinner. A question is asked and the answers are published here.

This week we offered a choice of questions:

"Do you have any New Year's resolutions or intentions you wish to share?"

Or ...

"What would you like to see happen in the coming year?"

Most folks went with the latter question. Here are this week's contributions...

Marvin Radach, "I am just looking forward to continued good health."

Norm Sturm, "I'd love to have The Henry's full of people utilizing this wonderful space."

Tracy Farrar, "My resolution is to generate less paper and paperwork. I'm going to start keeping electronic or digital files. 'See this here piece of paper in my hand that I just found in my pocket?... I HATE it!'"
