Click Here for Complete List of 2006 Goals

2004 was a stellar year for goal setting and completion -- first marathon, quit drinking. 2005 was horrible -- a lack luster attempt at setting my goals, and a failure in accomplishing them. The problem seemed to be in setting 100 goals. This year I made it much easier. I assigned a point value to each of the 46 goals which add up to 100 points.

Some goals are easy (brush/floss teeth); and others are more difficult (marathon, PMI certification). I made sure they were balanced between health, wealth, and relationships. But all seem obtainable.

The big theme this year is 'The Year of the Dog' -- since our dog has been neglected since Devin's birth. We hit this hard on January 1, with a trim, groom, and the nails being severed to the quick.

Java hobbled around the house scattering blood all over the floors. I can't wait until Crime Scene Investigation (CSI) squad investigates the murders at our house --"It seems as though there has been a dog sacrifice in the past year. Mr. Rachiele, can you explain?"

Java is most likely thinking "I liked it better when I could sleep all day on the bed -- this year is gonna suck."
