Things I want to accomplish in 2006 (a free-form list):

  • Ride at least one century (100-mile bike ride).
  • Get my weight down below 200 lbs. (I was down to 198 back in August, right before my shoulder injury).
  • Cook more.
  • Try at least one recipe from every cookbook in the house (good for at least 25 meals).
  • Watch more movies.
  • Ride Skyline Drive.
  • Be more tolerant.
  • Help the Democrats win in 2006 without killing all my “sanity” time.
  • Excel in school.
  • Keep enough “me” time in the week to allow myself to properly recharge.
  • Be a better friend.
  • Read a book a month.
  • Complete my CD inventory and get the collection insured.
  • Play more guitar.
  • Get out to the slopes more this winter.
  • Be a better mate to sprite.
  • Cut down on the clutter: reduce, recycle, donate to Goodwill.
  • Smile more.
  • Take advantage of the local resources more often (read: visit the Smithsonians I have yet to visit).
  • Take better care of my fingernails.
  • Be better at saying “no.”
  • Don’t over-extend myself.

I realize that some of these are a bit redundant (especially those about time management), but I need the reminder at times.
