May it be better than 2006, which wasn't half bad. I have a new child, a new house, and, almost, a new book. Was 2006 better than 1976 for you too? My New Year's resolution is to run ten miles a week. Anyone owning a wayback machine could find me, on a rare occasion, running ten miles in a single jog. Alas, not any more. Anyhow, I vowed to curtail cigar smoking last year. I haven't smoked a cigar since I was in Krakow in January. Anyone owning a wayback machine could spot me smoking five in a day. Not any more. Do you have a New Year's resolution? Do you have a suggestion for a New Year's resolution for someone else? Let's see them in the comments section.

Yes, 2006 was a better year than 1976 - but then living in Northern Ireland every year this century has been better than any year of the 1970s.

No resolutions except, "Keep the Peace."

Here's wishing the happiest of New Years to all Flynn Files junkies for 2007!

I too have started my "ten miles a week" running regimen. In fact, I started it a couple of weeks before Christmas and have been sticking to it. And I too remember the days when a ten mile beach run was a daily occurrence. Alas, time marches on. Along with re-starting regular racquet ball sessions, am feeling and looking good. So far.

Resolution this year: be less angry and more positive.

Congrats on your new child Dan.

ChrisNI, I just got through re-reading Trinity for the first time since 1978.

It is a great mix of historical accounting and fiction to tell a very sad story. If it is at all close to the reality of the times, I would expect that what you say about Northern Ireland circa 1976 vs. 2006 is very true.

This is a reality that a third generation American faux Irishman can only read about.

Peace.

Congrats on the baby and book. Best wishes for '07.
Proposed resolution for all Kennedys: try no alcohol for one year.
