Half way there

I figured as we got close to the half way point for the year I would look back to my post of resolutions and see how I was doing.

Here is the score:

i will write more - Nope. In a dead heat with last year so far which feels like a small effort, I can (and want to) do better.

i will read more - So So performance here, need more effort.

i will have less parties and more one-on-one dinners - I have been successful having less parties but not many one-on-one dinners.

i will be more focused on what is important and learn to let the other things slip away - Feeling good about this one, even after answering the above 3 lines.

i will have more fun with my kids - Got this one covered but could always do more here.

i will take at least 2 full vacation (more than 3 days) - One down so I should make it by the end of the year.

i will live more in the black and less in the red - Bank account is looking pretty much the same as last year (and every year before that) so while that seems like a failure I will simply let it go like I said I would above.

On the smaller list

i will be in better shape - Good thing I put this on the smaller list.

i will get my private pilot license - Shameful lack of progress but recent renewed interest makes me think I might make this.

i will find an outlet for fencing that fits my life - Not even sure where my foil is.

i will drink less coffee - I bought a Starbucks gold card and have spent more money there than in plane fuel.

i will level my holy priest to 80 (this was on the top of the smaller list but some form of guilt pushed it down) - So close to 80 (79-3/4) I can taste it, and sadly it tastes very sweet.
