2005 Goals

My cousin Steve blogged a short time ago about his 2005 resolutions, so I thought I might follow suit and publicly disclose some of mine. I've never really been one to write them down and stay committed to them, but perhaps that's because I have far more virtues than vices and thus little to work on!!! : ) I really don't view all of these as resolutions, as in "I need to fix this" or "I've been a bad person and I need to start doing this better." Some of these might be a bit lofty, but I'll throw them all out there--simple or complex. Maybe in a year, I'll report a success rate of 80 or 90%.

• Stop smoking. Wait, I never started. : D
• Quit my 2nd job (this is practically a no-brainer)
• Learn to play my saxophone
• Lose 30 lbs and be more fit
• Sell 10 houses (i.e, transaction sides)
• Reduce debt to mortgage and autos
• Go on a mission trip
• Buy a new house
• Have a baby (OK, technically this duty falls to my lovely wife, but you get the point)
• Be more organized at home

So, there ya go. If I think of any more, you'll be the first to know
