October 1, 2009
I posted my Things to Do for 2009 in the beginning of January and did a follow up in my Second Quarterly report in June. Here is where I am on these goals:
#12 Get a piece of art into an exhibition – Completed!
#14 Ride the World’s Biggest Rollercoasters – Rode the Top Thrill Dragster but Son of Beast was closed.
#22 Go Up in a Hot Air Balloon – So far no plans on this one and I may have to move this one off the list for this year.
#28 Sky Dive – Again, no plans for this one, although when I went to New Hampshire in April, I went Indoor Skydiving. I’m working my way up…
#37 Make fire without matches – Not yet…
#52 Read the All-Time Greatest Books – Completed my goal of reading 8 (Asterix and the Golden Sickle, The Day of the Triffids, Atomised, The Buddha of Suburbia, The Lost Estate, An Artist of the Floating World, The New York Trilogy, and Stupid White Men) Even went above an beyond and succeeded on my third try of The Grapes of Wrath. Currently reading Winter’s Tale.
#88 Get Married Unusually – Completed June 6, 2009. Vegas, Baby!
#99 Confess – I put this one off all summer because Saturdays are too busy with nice outdoor activities. Maybe I’ll wait until its cold.
So this is where I am on the original goals for 2009. However, I also manged to be a part of a flash mob during the No-Pants Subway Ride, went snow sledding for the first time in my life, saw a Bald Eagle, and started toward trying to get my name in the ring of honor at Flying Saucer. As of right now, I have drank 45 of my 200 beers and plan to get at least 5 more by the end of the year. I may also be able to complete another Thing to Do at the NC State Fair but I’ll unveil that one if it happens…
How are you doing on your New Year’s Resolutions/goals for 2009?
You = Winner! Good job! I should probably look back at mine (or continue to ignore them). Haha!
This is really your fault as you were the first to do Quarterly Reports. But hey, you’ve read a heck lot more books than I have!
