Goals for 2009
I’m really not a fan of resolutions. I don’t need to lose weight or stop smoking. They’re always broken by March anyway. So I have three goals instead.
1. Re-learn to play piano. It’s been 14 years according to the beginner piano book I dug out of the file cabinet. I stopped playing when we moved. I think it’s time to start again.
2. Learn to ride a skateboard. I don’t need to be able to do any sweet tricks. But it would be nice to be able to stand and move in a forward trajectory. And it will be fun for my future dog to pull me down the sidewalk.
3. Think less, do more. I have an impressive talent for generating reasons to not do something at light speed.
















I went through a skateboarding phase when I was about 12 or 13. I thought I was SO COOL.
It only lasted about two months.
I hope skateboarding goes better for you!
What a nice list… much better than mine… I wish I could play the piano- I took lessons for a short time and can play the opening 6 or 7 notes of Fur Elise… and that’s about it.
I want to start learning how to play the piano!
