Try It, You'll Like It

As a new year dawns, there's always a lot of talk about goals. At first I thought it was a bunch of hooey. Then I read a few articles about how setting goals and actually writing them down somehow, magically, makes them come true. So I've done it and because I'm not a chicken, I'm going to share them with you. I have to say that the simple act of tapping them out on my laptop and reading them back made them seen just a little closer, a little more real. Here they are.

1. Find a way to give Clark the summer an eight-year-old should have.
2. Earn at least $10,000 through travel writing.
3. Fish 30 days.
4. Say no to every bug that comes along.
5. Visit The North.
