So it has been over 5 weeks since New Years. Time to check on the New Years Resolutions.

Resolution # 1 – Blog More: This has been up and down. Been hung up on a couple of Blog subjects that I want to do, but can’t seem to get them down. Guess I’ll just have to blow through them. Of course this blog counts.

Resolution # 2 – Promote Electronic Socialization: I have been doing terrible on this. I haven’t e-mailed as much lately, and I intended on setting up a forum site, but haven’t yet. Ok time to get off the stick.

Resolution # 3 – Watch more Movies: I got off to a good start on this one, then Liz and/or Thomas went to a couple of movies (Narnia and Memoirs of a Geisha) that I wanted to see but had something else going on. Then they sat me down to watch Napoleon Dynamite and well I haven’t wanted to see another movie since….. And I’m thinking about changing this Resolution to read more books.

Resolution # 4 – Spend more Time Helping the Less Fortunate: I think I am doing quite well here in a round about way. I am now the Scoutmaster for Boy Scout Troop 169, Paw Paw. I get to help mold a bunch of boys into responsible young men. Part of this is performing service projects, like food drives, etc. So I can have a pretty big impact here. This is also taking a tremendous amount of my time right now, part of the reason #1 and #2 are lagging.

Resolution # 5 – Loose Weight. Not sure how much I am loosing, but I have cut back on beer and booze especially on school nights and have been working out at the gym again. Even got Tolerance working out with me. So this one is on track.

Resolution # 6 – Play More Guitar. Band is not practicing once a week, but we have practiced and we are playing this Sunday night, 2/12 at the Old Hat in Lawton! 6 – 9 pm. Come on down!
