Obligatory New Years Post

It is the last day of the year and it seems as though all bloggers are posting a wrap-up of the year. I will also do so.



I did not complete all of my 2007 resolutions, but I think I did well enough to call 2007 a success. I think I learned enough in 2007 to make good in 2008.



From a fitness perspective I did pretty well. I am able to do 10 pull ups now. I wanted to be able to do 20, but that didn't happen. I think I will get there in 2008. I have been riding my bicycle more and my aerobic capacity has increased. I never did ride a century though. I am not sure if that will be back on the list for 2008. Overall I am much more fit that I was a year ago.

I did find a new job, I think. We have agreed on everything other than a start date. After Jan 1, I need to give Richard a call to see where we are.

The year was not good from a financial perspective. I did not pay off enough debt. This has to be a focus of 2008. This will take a lot of work, but I really must get a handle on my credit card debt.

Poker has treated me well. Aside from a few tilt-fests, I am playing pretty well. I still need to work on concentration and situational play, but overall my results were good.

I went to Canada, San Francisco, London and Bethany Beach. All great trips, but also a reason my debt did not get paid down. I am planning to go to Vegas and Bethany Beach, but without the other two trips, I should be in better financial shape.

My relationship with my daughter is great. I would like a little improvement in my relationship with my wife and that is my fault I guess. That is something I should pursue in 2008.
