Resolutions……

Resolutions……

by Janet Donovan

Every year we make New Year’s Resolutions, a tradition that goes back to the Babylonians according to most historians, when people often wrote out as many as 7o resolutions.

So why is Tommy McFly, Morning Show Host at 94.7 fresh fm, so jubilant on resolution day?  It’s not exactly like being Marie Antoinette who we imagine had to decide between resolving to dole out more cake or cutting more heads off.  His resolution is more simple – or so it would seem.

McFly is not exactly a first responder when it comes to email so his resolution is: “I’m resolving to be better at email.  At the end of 2012 I declared email bankruptcy.”

“So far, so good,” he claims.  We, of course, don’t believe it for a second – we’re on it!

McFly and his co-host Kelly Collis teamed up with Brendan Kownacki and Chris Brown to host what turned out to be a four hour brunch at Peacock Cafe on January 1st.

Adding to the gene pool of resolutions, Kownacki had this to say: “My resolution is that 2013 will be a year of dream big, but take decisive action. This year will be bound by the motto “just get it done.”  Think Jerry Weintraub.  Yup, we believe him.

As for Brown, his resolution is: “”This year, I’m resolving to take a lesson from Congress and the Fiscal Cliff debate: when presented with a task and a very long time to accomplish it, I promise to wait until the last possible second to do anything about it. It seems to work pretty well on Capitol Hill.”  We’re in.

As for Ms.Collis?  “2013 is a BIG birthday year for me…I turn 40! My resolutions includes living life more! Better red wine, more recess time with my children, love deeper, and sleep less.”
