DeWese--Time for Some Self-analysis

I surveyed myself during that "reflective" time between Christmas and New Year's. I decided that I could do a much better job in 1999 than I had done in 1998. I had a great—no, obscenely great—1998 and, since I am more mortal than anybody I know, I have a tendency to get just a wee might cocky. After I made this commitment, I went to my co-workers and publicly announced, "I'm going to do better in 1999!" It helps me to put myself on the spot.
