Year in review, year in preview

Anyway.
Ten achievements of 2011: ( 2011 was the year I... )
Ten goals for 2012:
1. Finally replace the Treo 680 with an Android phone
It's coming to be necessary for my professional cred as a web/social media maven.
2. Go contra dancing at least once per calendar month
This represents a sixfold increase over 2011, when I went a total of twice.
3. Establish a habit of walking home from work at least once a week
When I wasunemployed on vacation for 2 months, I was walking miles every day and it was great.
4. Implement new website for Ramaz
A professional goal, not a personal one, but then the professional is personal, as they say.
5. Host a Shabbat dinner
With lots of singing. In NYC. Who wants to come?
6. Take (and post) more pictures
Documenting my experience of the city. You see things differently with a camera in your hand.
7. Get net worth up over $100,000
90% of this is locked up in retirement savings, as it should be, but still. It's reachable.
8. Join the Frontstage side of the Blue Hill Troupe
Hoping that next year's shows will be of more interest to me than Utopia. We'll find out this spring!
9. Establish a partnership with the shared goal of having a family
Let's acknowledge that there are lots of possible (and many mutually exclusive) subgoals under this, the exact combination of which will vary highly depending on the chain of circumstances, so I'm not really ready to unpack all of them right now. But I'm naming the intention.
10. Complete a draft of a novel
In some ways this goal feels the farthest away... and reaches the farthest back, since I wanted to Be A Writer from the time I could hold a pencil.
