Resolutions
First things first: Have a safe, happy New Year’s Eve, everyone! The wife, dogs, and I are headed up to visit our friends up in North Carolina, and I’ll probably be a bit light on posting.
But I saw WindyPundit’s list of New Year’s Resolutions, and figured I’d post my own. I did mine in Top-Ten (eight) style, with the most important at the bottom…
8. Cheer Purdue on to a Big Ten Championship!
7. Brew great beer.
6. Get into better shape. I think I’m planning on getting back into martial arts for this one. (This is only #6 because I’m not in great shape, but I’m not in horrible shape either).
5. Finish my garage projects (nicer floor, shelving, toolbox, workbench), so I can complete the below two projects.
4. Build the basement. Need to get the bar built, the poker table set up, and buy some seating.
3. Fence the backyard. No Kipling-esque “good fences make good neighbors” reasoning, but good fences make good doggies.
2. Develop my blogging, to hopefully earn some income (help w/#1 below), grow my readership, and eventually get me prepared to start writing a book.
1. Attack my (non-mortgage) debt situation with impunity. Cut it by 50% or more during the year.

Brad, good luck on #1. I haven’t figured out which is worse, a debt or a conscience – they are both bothersome and cumbersome at inconvenient times.
Brad, Good luck working on the non mortgate debt. We only non-mortage debt we have is about $ 500.00 on credit cards and 2 more years on my car. I can’t wait to pay it off. I didn’t charge any Christmas this year. To me that credit card debt is like having a ball and chain around your leg. Glad you are working on it. Diet and health is near the top of my list. I’m twice your age so I have to be more vigilent…
Happy New Year to you, your wife and the doggies.
