Now that summer is coming to a close, what your goals are for the rest of the year? What would you still like to accomplish by the end of 2008?

Here's my list:

* Generally become more organized, both personally and professionally.

* Acquire at least a couple new clients for my technical editing business.

* Get back into my old fitness routine (power walking, hiking, biking, lifting weights) and eating mainly a "hunter/gatherer" diet (very limited grains). Also hoping to play more racquetball. My DH & I have played once so far this year, and I was a total dork at it, but think I could improve with practice. ;)

* Make some minor landscaping changes in the front yard.

* Resist the temptation to procrastinate and finish a major art project I'm working on in my spare time.

* Learn meditation/deep-breathing techniques. (My daughter gets her drivers license next month)

* Learn medication/deep-breathing techniques. (My son is learning heavy metal on the electric guitar I gave him for Christmas.

LMAO, Stoney! I'm tempted to say this was a typo, but it's gotta be intentional! Any way to rig up a silencer for him, or a quiet room for you?

Personally, I'd be more tempted to have pharmaceutical assistance with a newly minted driver in residence. :::Having post-traumatic flashbacks to my son's first few years of driving:::

Actually the amp came with headphones but thinking he'd ever use them was a pipe dream.

Hey, I'm an aging rocker/guitar player that cut his teeth on concerts at the Fillmore, Avalon Ballroom and Winterland. I'm sure my folks were grinding their teeth listening to me and my music back in the 60's. What goes around comes around. Karma baby, instant karma.

Hey, now . . . I wasn't being critical, wasn't red-penning it. Just happened to notice, is all. Wasn't certain if it was intentional or not. If it was not intentional, it's even more hilarious. I enjoy humor quite a bit.

*Sigh*

Find Stoney's medication stash (if it's a microbrew)
Kill my TV
put a bumper sticker on my BIG RED GMC YUKON (I'm changing the environment, Ask me how) It stays parked by the way.
Ask Dick Chaney to take Clayton hunting.
Get the nerve to look at my retirement account. (also known as HAHAHAHAHAH)
Apply for a job as CEO of WAMU. I hear it pays very well for very little actual work.
Find a possum and some fake fur, hold a news conference announcing I've got proof bigfoot is still alive, Ooops did that last month.
Have "fiscal conservative politician" placed on the endangered species list.
End every conversation with AHL BE BAACK. (Like Ahnold)
Have THAT talk with my son.
Send my daughter to a convent.
Tell everyone I joined the gym then buy baggier clothes.
End every business call with "do you want fries with that?"
Pay my property taxes with a copy of the federal bailout bill before congress now and monopoly money.
Buy an Amway product. Just to prove someone does.

That's about it. It's a pretty big list but I'm a "can do" kind of guy. If I could just figure out how to get out of this barcalounger without spilling my beer.
