1. Made a New Year’s resolution.  Because I refuse to let other people tie me down to anything*, so why should I do it to myself?  Something you may want to change about yourself might occur at any time during the year anyway, so why set some arbitrary date for its commencement?
2. Fired a blackpowder muzzle-loading musket or rifle.
   
   Some of my Readers (and you know who you are) have tried to assure me that this brass cartridge case thing is just a passing fad;  I may be conservative, but that doesn’t mean I can’t keep up with the times, when appropriate.  (I have fired several such handguns, e.g. a Colt Dragoon and Navy Colt, and it was a huge PITA, whether it was in the preparation, the actual shooting, or the clean-up afterwards.)
3. Bought anything at a Hallmark Crown store, or any place that sells only candles.  I have no idea how these establishments ever came to be, and their continued existence remains a mystery to me.  Then again, I’m a man and we don’t go to places like this.  Maybe when they start carrying ammo…

Fell free to add your “never done that” things, in Comments.
