Now that 2010 is here, I’ve been thinking about what I want to accomplish this year. I’m trying to take a more balanced approach to goal-setting than I have in years past.

Meet my friend, Templeton Turkey. Every year around Thanksgiving, he tirelessly campaigns for Americans to “eat ham, not turkey!” Poor Templeton – even as he pleads “Why not try ham this year?” – he knows he is fighting a losing battle! According to the National Turkey Federation, turkey consumption has increased 108% since 1970. Few birds are […]
