New Year’s Resolutions:

1. Garden
2. Read more
3. Watch more documentaries
4. Be more outdoorsy; camping, hiking, etc.; 1 trip/month
5. Be more active; run trails, mountain bike, etc.
6. Most importantly, don’t be a lazy ass and take off a day from work just for the hell of it

2 of 6 resolutions have subsequently become JM’s resolutions as well, by default. One week into 2012 I’ve made good, upholding my resolutions.

I have:

1. Enjoyed my homegrown cilantro
2. Read the 2nd book of a trilogy
3. Ran up and down Proctor Valley
4. Worked full-time, even overtime 

I am looking forward to:

1. Kayaking and whale watching in La Jolla: 1/14/12
2. Camping trip with JM in Julian: 1/27/12 to 1/29/12
3. Camping trip with JM in Grand Canyon: 2/2012

The only resolution I have trouble with is the mountain biking…I just imagine myself bombing down a massive slope, wiping out, and eating shit, while at the same time managing to shatter my helmet and skull. Perhaps my resolution should have been: conquer fear of mountain biking, first.
