Merry Christmas 2009

Wow, the year is almost over. It's Christmas today, and I'm in a good mood.


I woke up early and put in a great workout on the bike trainer (something I just started doing this week). I have been using my new heart rate monitor - sorry, "Polar RS 100 Running Computer" - and it's an amazing toy to play with. And it motivates me. It gets me on the bike trainer, in the garage. The cold, cold garage.

I'm going to relax with the diet today. I'm going to enjoy the food available. I'm going to have fun.


Snow, you say? Yeah, it's there. And more is coming. And the roads are probably bad. Driving isn't recommended, but that will no stop me from heading over to grandma's and later to SHERLOCK HOLMES.

Like I said, it's Christmas and I'm going to enjoy the day. I hope you do as well.

Merry Christmas!

Game Night - December 19

Now that my brother (the Monkey) has moved into my place, and I’m flat broke and in need of cheap entertainment, I thought it would be interesting to keep track of how well I fare when it comes to board games. As a child I was king at such games. I’ll be keeping a running tab of wins/losses and high scores.

Clue
PlayersWinLoss
Pirate01
Monkey10
Yahtzee

Pirate12
Monkey21
Scrabble Slam

High Scores

So, I didn't fare too well last night. That just means that it's now on, little monkey.

Jack Bauer Interrogates Santa Claus

"You're on the naughty list now."

The Five and One-Half Year Plan

It’s a good thing to have a goal, to have a target with which to aim your attention. And if it’s a good thing to have a goal, it must be a great thing to have an entire list of goals.

Today is December 17, 2009, and in five and one-half years – on June 17, 2015 – I’ll be exactly 35 years old.

But thirty-five is not the end. Heck, I hope it is not even the halfway point of my life. What it can be is the start of the rest of my life.

Things now are not what I had hoped they would be. It is my intention to work my way toward the life I want to be living, the life I deserve to be living.

I've created a list of goals - some of which I'll share and others I might not - and over the next 5.5 years I'll be posting my progress on the blog. It won't be every day. It might not even be every month. But as my goals change, are achieved or struggled with, I'll post my progress to the blog. It keeps me accountable and striving towards the life I want to be living.

The list is daunting, but achievable. Let's get to it.
