Greetings, Chattanooga!

Will you be making New Year’s resolutions? I won’t. But I have started compiling a list titled “Things I’m Gonna Do Someday,” with entries ranging from small to big, from “bake a flan” to “write a book.”

Over the past 10 months, I’ve struggled with feeling aimless, and my hope is to give my day-to-day more direction. Besides, if I’ve learned anything from 2020, it’s that life can change overnight.

So bake that flan already.

Here’s a story we recently published about making wiser resolutions.

And now, a few recent stories:
