*Goals are different from resolutions, in my book, in that resolutions are more like making a wish. Goals, on the other hand, are meant to be achieved through a concrete, step-by-step plan. Either can fail, of course; but as the old saw goes, "Those who fail to plan, plan to fail."

Ten Questions for 2005

1. Who is your candidate for the Biggest Idiot of 2005, and why? Howard Dean. Need I say more?

2. If you had a time machine, what one event in 2005 would you undo? Hurricane Katrina


3. List someone famous (living or dead) who ought to be a blogger and think up a blog title for his/her blog. Mark Twain blogging at Mississippi Mud Blog (subtitle: "I have never let my schooling interfere with my education.")

4. Run to your underwear drawer (or wherever you stow your undies) and list all of the things there that are not underwear. (No fibbing!) Some lint that used to be underwear.

5. List the title (with a link) to the single worst entry you wrote during 2005. (Score extra karma points if you post an entry on your blog linking back to this question.) I support the Meirs nomination. Bleaaccch.

6. Let’s pretend you’re going to write your autobiography next year. What will it be titled? Live Like You Mean It - the Story of a Work in Progress

MORE:
7. What did you do in 2005 that you’d never done before? I actually stuck with a fitness program, and started getting in better shape.


8. What was the best thing you bought? For totally different reasons, a membership at the local YMCA, and my 2005 GMC Canyon quad-cab pickup truck.

9. Where did most of your money go? Paying down the mortgage, and credit card debt. One-and-a-half more years to total freedom from credit cards. Which are absolute evil, BTW.

10. What was your greatest musical (re)discovery? Country music. I grew up with this genre, but drifted away from it as I got more "sophisticated." As I've gotten older, I've realized that sophistry is for the birds. I want music that speaks to my life. With the exception of the drinkin, leavin' and cheatin' songs (which have gotten to be far fewer than they used to be), country fills the bill for me more than any other currently popular genre, and does it with style.
