This is a napkin drawing and commentary from the last day of 2010. I am republishing it on the first day of 2019 as the first in a year long series of looking back at the evolution of The Napkin and myself.  I hope you enjoy!


Make your resolve in 2011 (and 2019) to be about what YOU can control.  Don’t make a resolution for your husband or wife, your child away at college, your boss, your neighbor or your friend.  Resolve to be, change, move, defeat, create, win over, help, build, enlighten and grow yourself.  If in that process you save the world, great. If in that process you are just a better mother or father to your baby, then guess what? You have just saved the world as well.
