Proposals, anyway.

• Keep my desk uncluttered on a daily basis.
• Buy pants that fit. (Hopefully I’ll accomplish that before 2009 starts.)
• Pass my oral board exam.
• Run a half-marathon.
• Read more. (What does “more” mean?)
• Write more. (What does “more” mean? This should really be “write more quality stuff”. I don’t know what “quality” means.)
• Become a better teacher (define “better”).
• Pay off more of my educational debt than is scheduled each month.
• Should Fortune smile upon me, release my last financial obligation in Seattle.
• Take more photographs of New York City.
• Figure out a way to continue to contribute to the National Multiple Sclerosis Society, since I won’t be participating in the walk-a-thon in Seattle this year. (The New York City Marathon is an option, but I am not confident that I can tolerate the training for a marathon.)
• Increase my tolerance for things that are not particularly fun, but are noteworthy and are directed towards a good cause.
• Learn to throw a ball properly (i.e. not “like a girl”).
• Enhance and exercise my creativity, before my medical training beats it out of me.
• Throw more strangers unexpected smiles.
