New Year Reflections and Lake Notes from Smoke Signals
The column mixes light home humor about New Year resolutions with brief town notes. It recalls marital jokes about Eve and Adam, resolves quirky personal habits, and ends with weather ice news near the lake. It also lists holiday visits, weddings, and family gatherings, plus TV, sports, and Nixon mentions. The tone mirrors a small-town weekly column from 1975.
