Serious Problems and Jelly Beans
b'Serious New Year\'s Resolution this year is: "Crush Cynicism". Easier said than done these days. It seems that no matter how cynical you get, you can\'t keep up. So I\'m not keeping up at all. My little 8 year old next door neighbor Emily, with her giggles and jelly beans, made me remember that the best way to solve a serious problem is with a silly solution. Try it. It worked for me.'
