Catching up

14 Jan 08:

As I mentioned before, I delated this blog and thought I should start over. So this post is all about catching up on the personal stuff that happened so far to date.

Very little actually has happened. The biggest of which was that my favorite aunt, Maria passed away on 02 Jan 08 of cancer. She was a very beautiful woman who was always upfront and frank with you regarding any issue. And most of all she could laugh at anything. I'm proud of the fact that I was able to get to know her as a true person who never hid anything.

Onto the other stuff: New Year's Resolutions. Everybody makes them and I'm no different. This year I only made the ones I'm pretty sure I'm going to keep. 1) Work on the house: replace basement windows, possibly floor the kitchen and paint the garage. 2) do my best to keep my wife happy. I say this because I hate getting into arguments with her or see her angry. And 3) A personal goal of being more proactive this year in the community and the two things that come to mind is participating in Chess (you read the goal on that already)... and being more politically active.

Other than that I only have to catch up on my reading of several books. The first of which is to finish off "1776".

I guess that's it for this post.
