The Slice

" The Failed Resolution Edition"

Bonjour, Charles here -

Despite our best intentions, most New Year’s resolutions start to waiver right around this time of year. As an example, my resolution was to write off writing any more Slice editions. It’s a nasty habit that not only affects me but everyone who reads it. No one wants to be around second-hand news.

Alas, I failed.

I yearned for the click click click of the keyboard. I found myself hiding behind the garage composing on my laptop. I made up excuses for the tell-tale “scrap paper” in the recycling bin. And now you are reading the result of my lack of self- control. I’m back to writing The Slice, and hope you do better on your goals for this year. So light up a smoke, scarf down that bag of Doritos, pour yourself a shot and enjoy this edition of The Slice.
