New Year's, 2012

Once again, it is time to prep for a new year. We are hosting a dinner party featuring Beef Wellington (and some other stuff). Guests include Mom and Aunt Liz; Tom, Jonie, and Claire Corrigan; plus Faith, CT, and me.

Of course, a new year means some goals. (I avoid the term resolutions..."resolutions" sounds like generally good things that you should try to do anyway. "Goals" sounds like you are going to work on it and eventually get it done. So a resolution to "lose weight"...never going to happen. "Lose 20lbs" is more achievable.)

This year's goals have yet to be refined but here is the starter list (to be boiled down, that is, reduced and some eliminated).

• Lose 20lbs
• Finish draft version of one work-related book
• Finish draft version of a non-work-related book
• Record some music
• Map out and start CT qualification program
