  • 1.) Be more generous with my time and money.
    2.) Be a better parent and husband. I need to do a much better job at putting my family first.
    3.) Get a new job.
    4.) Get in shape.
    5.) Make better use of my time at Nationals. This is a great hobby with tons of great people. I've been to the past couple Nationals and haven't met a lot of the people from CU that I would like to. This year will be different.

    1) see a doctor. get a physical. yeah, it's been awhile, so i might be spinning the barrel.

    remember that episode of Two And A Half Men where Charlie needs to cleanse himself before the procedure?

    gee i hope it's that funny. image

    2) eat more salad.

    3) identify a home improvement problem. fix it. fend off persistent wife for another year.

    4) attend son's college graduation ceremony, then drop by Office of Finance and Student Affairs and wave a fond farewell.

    5) exhale.

    Have me, my wife, my son and my daughter still be alive and in good shape for another year, and at least the same standard of living.

    Other than that, nothing else really matters to me.

    Well for 1 I need to eat better, join a Gym, and lose some weight.

    2) I need to re-new my membership, and submit more of my own cards instead of buying already graded.

    3) I need to save more money than I have in the past.

    4) I would like to get to 50%+ at minimum on my 1980 topps BB set.

    5) I'm not sure about other things right now. I still have to get my head straight. I guess that would be #5.

    Thanks for listening.

    Paul.

    Later, Paul.
