The List

If the point of this blog was to document my reintroduction into society after law school, I'm afraid it only demonstrates my love of the snooze-bar. By the looks of this blog, it looks like I slept through 2010. I wish. Unfortunately, 2010 turned out to be a colossal waste of time. And this is coming from the person who thinks Hurricane Katrina ultimately turned out to be a real gift. There is nothing good to say about 2010.

But, hey, I don't dwell. I'm starting 2011 off with THE LIST!

Here are my goals, large and small, for 2011. I'm afraid that if I don't publicly announce them on this page, they might never ever happen. Here goes:

As you can see, I have neglected a lot of things over the past few years. I'll keep you posted on how it goes. If you have suggestions for something I should do, learn, try, please don't hesitate to suggest it. Hell, make your own damn list.
