Some ns .resolve to stop smoking, ers swear to leave off swear-1, while still others make equally tile resolutions to start some idntious studying. Most of e are broken before two weeks past. Our after-dinner cigar-is so comforting, our tempers t have a verbal outlet, and we t squeeze that other date in »ehow.
