Getting a jump on New Years

My resolution for this new year is to maintain better contact with my friends who I see all-too-seldom. Since I'm spending between 3 an 6 hours driving to/from school/work alone every week and sometimes get sleepy in the car, I'm going to start calling you folk and talking to you, particularly when it falls under my "nights and weekends" portion of my phone plan. And I'm starting now, since New Year's Day is still a month away.
