2008 Resolutions - EV Style (I'm only 35 days late)

In response to Zach's resolutions, I thought I'd go over my list of things to do and areas in need of improvement. I had an eventful 2007, it was definitely a year I'll never forget, but 2008 should be no less eventful. I think it will be easiest to categorize these by priority:

The Locks:
Run a marathon with my wife.
Possibly this one, but if we could somehow find a cheap one overseas this fall, I'd be sold. Also, we're going to run a half marathon beforehand. We did this one a few years ago and had a blast.

Do some major home improvement. Leaky roof, you're on notice....

Decide what I want to do career-wise. Preferably I'll get a certification of some sort that can help me move onward and upward. I'm also looking at MBA programs, but if any of our blog readers know of any six figure cereal-eating jobs, I'm your man.

Take a honeymoon. I'm thinking this place would be cool:



The Maybes

Move out of our house, preferably to somewhere fun. Really, anywhere where the average age is <64 will be okay with us.

Move out of the country. I'm betting on this place, and if it works out, you guys can come too.

Play rugby for another year. We'll see what the doctor says about my wrist this week, but I might become a full-time touch player.

Actively campaign for a presidential candidate. If a certain lady we'll call "Millary Hinton" wins the nomination, I just might volunteer for a guy named "Vaughn McLane".

The Longshots:

Win the lottery. I have my ticket, and island above would be my first (and only) purchase.

Cut down on donuts and cookies in favor of healthier items.

Bet way more money on the Giants the next time some idiot in Vegas gives me 12 free points!! You would have to be an idiot to think that the Patriots were actually going to cover that spread. When I was in Vegas last week I put 5 on the Giants, and I will rue the day because I didn't multiply that by 50.

(This only goes in longshots because the Pats will never be as overrated as they were for the playoffs, betting purposes only)

Good luck to me!
