Better a day late -- right?

How does that old saying go: Better a day late than a dollar short? Lawsy, that's come in handy -- when I've been able to remember it correctly (i.e., "Better to date a dollar than someone short," or however I misspoke it today).

Anyway, I had a few belated New Year's resolutions to share, courtesy of friends and readers, who suggested I make addendums to Tuesday's list of 2008 must-dos.

-- Cut my hair. It seems I resemble Shirley Temple, so a reader kindly pointed out that I get shorn. (Between you, me and the fence post, I'm considering doing that -- 20 pounds from now.)

-- Take my contacts out EVERY night. I know, gross.

-- Learn how to swim. I took lessons in kindergarten, then again in ninth grade. But after nearly drowning in 1990, I've been somewhat skeered of water (except, of course, when I'm zipping across local lakes in the summer. Go figure ...).

Good luck on your resolutions, folks, and have a happy rest of your week.

Peace, love and Resolve carpet cleaner ... xoxo

Living Wright

While other kids were watching "The Smurfs," Scene Writer Jason Ashley Wright was tuned in to "Style with Elsa Klensch." By fourth grade, he knew he wanted to write, and spent almost three years publishing a weekly teen-oriented magazine, Teen-Zine -- circulation: 2. After earning a degree in journalism from the University of Southern Mississippi, he became the medical reporter and teen board coordinator for the Hattiesburg (Miss.) American, a Gannett newspaper. Eight months later, with visions of Elsa dancing in his head, he applied for the fashion writer position at the Tulsa World, where he began working on Aug. 3, 1998. He is now a general assignment reporter for Scene.
