The Problem
Emme (see comments on last post) asks a good question. "What are your New Year's resolutions?" My response? That's a fair question with a less than satisfactory answer.
I've been postponing making any resolutions while I mull over some exciting, labor intensive, overly ambitious, and totally ludicrous goals. Why make them when I know up front they'll never be accomplished?
Possible Goals
(Remember, these are only live in my mind right now. Don't expect to see pictures taken from the far corners of the earth or anything exotic. My goals are geographically bounded by the borders of the USA.)
1. Backpack into the Mt Jefferson Wilderness and actually see, and possibly touch, a glacier. Since they may not be with us in a few years, I need to do this fairly soon.
2. Build an authentic Shaker-style dining table and six chairs to replace the ugly factory bought stuff we currently own. Makes me crazy just walking by them every day!
3. Retool the workshop. Totally overhaul it with a well-planned layout that makes optimum use of the available space.
4. Help the non-profit board I'm involved with streamline it's financial operations and investment portfolio. (Some of you may think that sounds boring. If you do, you really don't know me that well. I think it's fun! Sick, sick man you say? Yup!)
5. Take a long overdue vacation to Mendocino, California Explore the Northern California coastline and drink my way through the miles of wineries in Anderson Valley.
So?
Given more time, my resolutions should "go public" in a couple of weeks. Until then, the blog may be a little slow, but that describes me perfectly!
