2009 is a new year

I have in the past made resolutions, goals really, things I want to do, not so much the, "I want to be a better person" sort of thing.

I have set myself a goal of finding an agent to present my books to publisher's for several years and haven't done a thing about it yet. I won't waste time with soul-searching, but, at risk of annoying friends who may roll their eyes at seeing tnis one again, I will once more set that goal.

1. Get a literary agent.
2. Finish up Smiling Buddha, the novel I began in 2002 after returning from Taiwan.
3. Develop an online source of income, whether it be eBay or and MLM or an affiliate.
4. Be gone from Canada for next winter. heh.
5. Have a personal best time at Ironman Canada again this August 30th.
6. Finish the 50 day CORE challenge on Feb 13th with 500 pts or more.

I may add to this but that is good for a start

Christmas 2006

The sun crested the eastern hills at 8:32am as viewed from my office window. It was clear and cold, minus nine degrees, no wind. Steam rose from the vents on the office buildings across the avenue. Few cars littered the snowy street. Most of the workers were still enjoying the holiday break I suppose.
I considered my resolutions for 2007.

In 2007, I will:

1. not make disparaging comments about other road users.

2. make more charitable donations in 2007, starting with buying a lottery ticket every week for the whole year.

3. Write more poetry, at least during April, napowrimo at PFFA.org

I gotta move the car before the parking Nazis give me a ticket. I will return to this later.
