Goals for 2012

2012 is upon us, and I dated the check right the first time!  Also, I still write checks occasionally.  Like 5 or 6 times a month.  That seems weird.  Also, this paragraph would be better if I had published it just after the new year, instead of three weeks later.

My 2011 goals could have faired better, and I assume that I will be equally both as ambitious and non-achieving in 2012.  Without further ado, here is my 2012 list.
