Resolved for 2007: Don't Just Talk the Talk

I gave up on New Year's resolutions a long time ago when coming to feel that they're just additional guilt side trips in an already crowded itinerary. As 2006 draws to a close, however, many of my fellow About Guides have taken this challenge as it pertains to his or her individual topic. Examples:

• New Year's Resolutions for Artists (About Drawing/Sketching)
• New Year's Resolutions for Artists and Painters (About Painting)
• New Year's Resolutions for Your Yard (About Landscaping)
• New Year's Resolutions for Music Students (About Music Education)
• New Year's Resolutions for Graduate Students (About Graduate School)
• New Year's Resolutions for Couples (About Marriage)
• New Year's Resolutions for House & Home (About Housewares)

These are all great reading and chock full tips, so I thought - possibly - I might be able to come up with something similar for About Art History. Something more serious than "Don't neglect to buy food along with all of those books." I thought hard. Time passed. Pages flew off the calendar in that old movie sequence gimmick. Smoke started coming out of the ears as the brain gears ground. Eventually, one thing came to mind. Only one thing, mind you, but it seems a valid point.
