2011 was pretty much just another year, but looking back I kept thinking of all the things that happened in those 365 days. Here’s a list, in no particular order, to remind myself what went down:
- Had a new home built
- Quit 2 jobs, went back to work at my old job
- Coached soccer (again) in the spring and football (first time) in the fall
- Built some web sites, side-work and full-time
- Caught a decent number of nice bass
- Fished at a few new ponds and lakes, but never went out on a boat
- Got rid of my car, inherited the minivan
- Went to my first gun show(s), got my first gun, found a new hobby
- Went to San Diego for work
- Went to DC for the 4th of July
- Didn’t get any new tattoos
- Got a new laptop
- Didn’t get a new cell phone (except the replacement for the one my son dropped in the toilet)
- Bought some cowboy boots (well, kinda, a cross-breed between cowboy and motorcycle boots)
- Cancelled Netflix
- Got a new HDTV
- Got my first mohawk, loved it
- Played softball again for the first time in a few years
- Actually did not redesign my personal web site
- Didn’t gain or lose a significant amount of weight, but stayed fairly physically active (lots of yoga and push-ups)
- Got a new puppy
I’m not really sure what to make of any of that, pretty normal stuff I suppose. Family stayed happy and healthy for the most part. Life just kept carrying on. Should I think about any of those and resolve to change things in 2012? I don’t think so, same old resolutions – eat better, be more frugal with money, treat people kindly, get/stay in better shape, become better at my job, be a better parent/husband/son/brother/friend/employee. Onward and upward again, stay on my grind!
