Since I haven’t come up with any resolutions yet this year, I thought I could go back to last year’s and see how I did:

• Cook a more diverse lineup of food (buy cookbooks)
• Play more video games
• Get a reasonable workout program and stick to it (for more than a week)
• Play golf at least twice a month (in the summer)
• Don’t buy crap
• Sell extraneous computers and equipment on eBay
• Keep the desk and office clean
• Ride bike at least once a week in the summer

Okay first off, Cook a more diverse lineup of food (buy cookbooks), we did fairly well on this one. I can’t say we bought any new cookbooks, but we did at least go through the cookbooks and pick out new things to make. So on the whole, you could say I stuck to this one.

#2, Play more video games, easy one. Check!

#3, Get a reasonable workout program and stick to it (for more than a week). Failed miserably. With the exception of getting my arm in shape for softball last spring, I barely visted the gym. Like the Cubs, I will try again this year.

#4 Play golf at least twice a month (in the summer) I had my best golfing year ever, and I played a lot more than in the past. Which also cost more money, but what are you going to do? I even acheived my goal of scoring under 95 (92) and was pretty consistently hitting the mid-90’s by the end of the year. I hope to continue that this summer, and maybe even score under 90? The way things usually go with golf, I’ll be back up in the 120’s

#5 Don’t buy crap, #6 Sell extraneous computers and equipment on eBay, and #7 Keep the desk and office clean were all intimately related. For the most part things went well. I sold off two computers, threw away a bunch of other junk, bought a paper shredder, and for the most part kept the office clean. It’s a work in progress and I still tend to hang on to paper way longer than I need to, but on the whole, things are looking good.

And the last one on my list, Ride bike at least once a week in the summer failed pretty miserably as well. I won’t make excuses. It just didn’t happen.

Well looking back things went very well over the past year. This year I’m going to work on some of the things that didn’t go so well from last year, namely working out more since I was just absolutely beat when we were skiing last week!
