Resolutions

Today, Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Ida Willaby met for their scheduled New Year's Resolution: a one mile speed walk every morning. For the most part, Mrs. Myrtle Standich was proud to report this resolution was kept intact despite an early decision to change speed walk into "more along the lines of a brisk" walk.*

Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Ida Willaby had met previous to the walk and each ate a spinach and tomato egg white omelette. Mrs. Myrtle Standich also had a whey protein shake. She had wanted to try one of these protein shakes since her grandson, Mr. Eric Standich, had spoken so highly of them. Mrs. Ida Willaby chose to drink grapefruit juice instead. She insisted that anything made of powder was eventually poisonous. Another complaint was that Mrs. Ida Willaby would have to purchase a forty ounce container of said poison to taste a cup of said poison as whey protein did not come in travel sizes. Although Mrs. Ida Willaby's opinion was skewed, Mrs. Myrtle Standich did decide to refrain from drinking whey protein shakes after her first taste reminded her of the idea of eating chalk soup. This description, however, was an assumption as Mrs. Myrtle Standich admitted in all honesty to having never eaten chalk soup.

The path on which Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Ida Willaby walked led around Lake Kalesburg. It was a pleasant atmosphere of evergreen pines and wild flowers. The pleasant atmosphere was interrupted only by the stream of bicyclists who rode along the path with what Mrs. Ida Willaby described as "reckless abandon". Two weeks agao, Mrs. Myrtle Standich and Mrs. Ida Willaby added an addendum to their New Year's Resolution by deciding to count all the bicyclists who rode without helmets. This number they planned to turn into the Kalesburg Police Department in hopes that arrests would eventually be made.

A small discussion was held two weeks ago after the idea presented itself. The issue at hand was whether or not the newest addendum of counting bicyclist without helmets related to their overall New Year's Resolution. As was stated earlier in this paragraph, the conversation that followed was short and contained little to no raised voices. At the end of the discussion, it was decided by a two to zero vote in favor of counting bicyclists without helmets. This, it was agreed, did fit into their overall New Year's Resolution, "To Get Involved In Health And Fitness Issues."
