Breakfast Club: Laura's Countdown to Session II

New year's resolution time. Regardless of what you promised to yourself -- I will lose those eight pounds that I packed on between Thanksgiving and last weekend. Studies have shown over and over that the best way to keep a resolution is to promise achieving your resolution to a friend and to not just promise it only to yourself. Because we are ultimately most concerned about not losing face. So, with that said, I am going to challenge you all to adopting the following resolutions.

One, re-register for the coming second session if you haven't already. The registration deadline was last year (even if "last year" ended only a few days ago). Lindsay Brink, program administrator, sent out an email pushing back the start date to Jan. 13th to allow for more registrations.

Two, bring along a friend. Unless all of your friends skate like #19, then every one of your hockey-playing buddies could use some honing. And then promise each other to go every week, and to do [insert particular skill -- for me, I'll say my wrist shot] better than when you started this session.

So there you have it. The gaunlet is thrown. See you on the ice, my friends, and I will be eight pounds lighter and my wrist shot will be lifting by March 21st!
