New Year’s Resolutions! About 70% of people abandon their New Year resolutions by the end of January. Some call them “boring”, but we asked some friends what theirs were this year.
“Perform more random acts of kindness . . . it's something I always want to make a conscious effort to do.”
“Spend more time with my family off the grid, including backcountry camping trips.”
“I don’t do resolutions.”
“Cook one new recipe each week. I’m excited to try new dishes and expand my cooking skills this year!”
“Be more organized and embrace a digital-only calendar.”
“Always look on the bright side of life — be positive, fun, and in the moment.”

On January 8, 1902, Francis G. Landon, a New York State Assemblyman representing Dutchess County, successfully proposed and passed legislation aimed at penalizing men who turned around on the street to "look at a woman in that way," imposing a $500 fine for such behavior. This law emerged during a period marked by a strong anti-flirting sentiment. Although rarely enforced, the law reportedly remained in effect as late as 2017.
