Who's ready for New Year's Resolutions?
Before we begin, we as always recap how I did with last year's resolutions:
Met: 1, 2 (finally!), 3, 4, 5, 6, 7, 8, 9, 10, 13
Missed: 12
Pick 'em: 11 (does avocado count?), 14 (stir-fry isn't exactly "new", but its position was solidified this year).
Wow -- if I didn't know better, I'd almost think 2024 was a good year! Now, what to strive for in 2025?
* * *
1) Bring a healthy baby boy into the world.
2) Get said baby boy his polio vaccine, and all other recommended* vaccinations (*RFK Jr. not a valid source for recommendations).
3) Submit my book manuscript.
4) Travel abroad.
5) Take baby to some sort of event at our synagogue.
6) Have accepted for publication at least one academic article (book does not count).
7) Publish at least one non-academic (popular) article.
8) Win a lot at a "real" art auction (i.e., not eBay or Goodwill).
9) Frame all or most of my art collection.
10) Take and share an appropriate amount of pictures and videos of baby's growth and various milestones.
11) Learn to swaddle the baby, preferably before he grows too big to swaddle.
12) By the end of the year, sleep adequately (I accept the first half of the year will be a lost cause).
13) Be financially secure after adjusting for new child-related expenses.
14) See friends who don't live in Portland.
15) Survive one year of fascist leadership.
