finished a bunch of house projects [painted most rooms, plumbing re-piped, home theater system, re-arranged living room, patio furniture, garage re-org, ...]
started a tradition for monthly family dinners to get us all together more
grandpa passed away after a long battle with dementia
traveled the most since covid lockdowns (spent time in japan, mexico, seattle, arizona, and indiana)
and a ton more i'm almost certainly forgetting here. but suffice to say, it was a very busy year! if i have my way, 2024 will be more of the same. (minus the month-long ramble across japan... if only)
here are some things i'd like to accomplish in 2024:
build a sauna in the backyard
tend to the plants better, both indoors & out.
eat more out of the garden
exercise more consistently
set a new personal best at dabney. current best is: -5 under, average round is between 0-2 over
post more things to this page & add some features
launch my current project at the VA to production
re-do the closets (3 bedrooms, 1 hallway, 1 electrical)
if i can get those things done i'll probably feel 2024 is a good year for me too.
if i can't get those things done in the coming year, well, there's always next year 😄
