Shin's Resolutions 2011 - How'm I Doing?

Progress (or lack thereof) as of year end, 2011.  Not much! Check back next year.

RESOLVED:  Be organized.  I use the Jen List to make sure I do the routine stuff and at least remember the major stuff I want to do.  It didn't help much in November, but December will be better!  Just making the list helps a bit.  I'm going to do an electronic calendar for 2012! RESOLVED: Write.  Hey, I'm writing now!  I was back at my old writing class but will not return in January.  Too many people.  I've started back on my autobiography which is more important anyway. RESOLVED: Show Brain Activity.  The usual stuff, reading, educational DVD's etc.  Nothing new.  I started learning Spanish, hit a snag with my cold but I'm primed for 2012! RESOLVED: Travel.  It was a great year!  The 50 State Pledge is done and the 58 County continues apace!  2012 should be another good year for getting around! RESOLVED: Keep up this site.  I'm back to a timely update.  Not many folks look at it, but every now and then someone does.  Lots of ideas, no action, no motivation.  Much like my life. RESOLVED: Socialize.  Golf buddies, music pals, writing chums, family.  Perhaps I'm not the hermit I thought.  I still need to work on thin in 2012. RESOLVED: Look for the Next Big Thing.  Solo performing ain't it.  Maybe my next travel gig will be it.  Maybe Spanish.  Lots of maybe.  Nothing for now. RESOLVED: Don't get too hung up on resolutions.  I'm good at this!

RESOLVED: Be healthy.  My new crown is in, I had a root canal, eyes checked, and had visits to a urologist and a dermatologist.  I need more exercise than I currently get.  As I get older, more things seem to go wrong!  End of month weights:

May - Not done June - 202 July - 202 August - 197

September - 199 October - 200 November - 204 December - 200

January - 203 February - 202 March - 200 April - 202

RESOLVED: Don't suck at golf.  I'd love my index to be under 20.  My best was October 15, 2010 at 20.6.  Maybe I peaked then.  C'est la vie.  Monthly end of month indexes:

May - 22.4 June - 21.3 July - 20.9 August - 21.3

September - 22.6 October - 22.0 November - 21.5 December - 22.5

January - 23.0 February - 23.8 March - 26.8 (yuk!) April - 25.1

RESOLVED: Play music.  I soured on solo performing, though I plan on keeping up a two set list.  I gave up on lessons since I won't be going solo.  Durango was a letdown, but I've played four one hour senior gigs at assisted living centers, surprisingly fun.  Nothing currently in the works, but learning new songs.

RESOLVED: Cut down on brainless computer games.  This is still a major sore spot.  CURSE YOU, JIGZONE.COM!!!
