2010 Goals

Last year I made my New Year’s resolutions public on my blog. That seemed to help me complete a good handful of them (final score here). So I am going to have another go at it…

Big Stuff

• Finish my pilots licence. It is just getting embarrassing at this point.
• Keep up the vacation plan and take at least 2 vacation that are more than 3 days. Hey people die at my age, got to get with it.
• At least 6 date nights with my wife. This would be more than the sum of all dates in the last 10 years (guess how old the oldest is) so this is a very aggressive goal.
• Go sailing at least 3 times (have not been since I was a kid).
• Get my wife to go sailing at least once (if I pull this one off I need a medal).
• Read at least one book that is not fiction, self help or business related. Not exactly what is left to read but there must be something out there.
• Maintain my weight (unless of course I am exposed to some freak nuclear activity that turns me into a ripped super hero overnight, in which case I will let this one go).
• Have neighbors and friends over for dinner. Small groups 1-2 couples. It is easier to dig up the dirt that way.
• Go at least once to the Walt Disney Concert Hall. Hopefully the rest of the family will come too.

The Little List

• Now that I have found my foil and my kids are starting to express an interest I will bring this back to the list. Based on last years performance I am probably just being silly.
• 2010 is the 20 year high school mark for both my wife and myself. Hoping we actually go so we laugh our asses off.
• Become proficient at tying my turban. There really is no reason as I could never wear it outside of the house, but man it feels great. No joke, can’t explain it but it just feels great. Help mental focus, I swear.
• Own and wear more hats. I love hats, why are they so out of fashion.
• Golf at least once.
• Make an effort to get technically better at taking photos now that I have a camera that can support it. Technically better means not having to take 200 photos to get lucky on 10.
• Take kids again on a train ride up to LA and explore. Hmmm boa and boba, sounds good right now.
• Drink more scotch (hey, I put it on the little list)

Looking at this list it feels a little like a bucket list.
