Lisa Russ Spaar: "To learn to read and write French so I can translate the complete works of George Sand into North Jerzee-ese; to figure out how to operate my DVD player so I can watch all Mike Leigh's films; to tour with the Weepies. To build Rome in a day."

Coy Barefoot: "To integrate more earthtones into my wardrobe."PHOTO BY JEN FARIELLO

Susanne Kogut: "To say 'thank you' to someone every day."PHOTO BY JEN FARIELLO

Bob Tucker: "To decline any request to sit in the Hook's Hot Seat in 2007."

Jeanette Lancaster:"To reverse my exercise-eating ratio– to do more of the former and less of the latter in 2007!"PHOTO BY JEN FARIELLO

Larry Sabato:"To write at least one book, teach a few hundred students, keep the Crystal Ball spinning toward the presidential contest, irritate a dozen more politicians and their blind partisans, and get a lot more sleep. I'm told this resolution has internal contradictions, so it's obviously a work in progress."
