2011 new year's resolutions 2010-12-31 - 12:54 p.m. It's rainy as all get-out today, so I think our cool plan to see the fireworks in New Orleans is foiled. Oh well. At least there will be lots of food... I have big plans for the New Year, but a lot of those plans are still churning around in my tiny Peachfronted mind. How about some 2011 New Year's Resolutions? The usual exercise plan: 30 minutes a day, 6 days a week. Walking counts. Find a free or really cheap mirror site to back up my online diary. Not that I think Diaryland is going anywhere, but I've learned that it's a good idea to back up my work. Catalog and photograph my collection for the online mineral museum. 500 hours live poker. Yes, I'm cutting back. The game is getting smaller, and the hourly win possible is getting smaller. I need to pick up some cash from poker, but I also need to give myself time to look into other possibilities for earning money. Get my world life list up to 1,500. This means 54 new birds. Actually, I think I lost some birds when I lost my data base, but oh well. The current count as of today is 1,446. Not a tough goal if I travel somewhere new, but not a "gimme" goal either. Probably just about the right amount of challenge. Add at least one new bird to my state life list, which will push it to 215. Cut 200 gemstones. I can't tell if I'm setting the bar too low or too high for this one, but time will tell. I've got lots of quality material, and I'm tired of selling/swapping it all to other lucky rockcutters. I'm getting back in the saddle and creating some gems myself. The wild card-I'm actually going to read all of my tournament books and research the possibility of positive expectation tournaments. Those who know me, know that DH, IMOM, and I played a lot of blackjack and dice tournaments in the mid 1990s for extra cash. We did very well, but then the game changed -- the casinos took the profit out of it, and we had to find another way to pick up extra income. I'm not yet convinced that the poker tournaments have enough of a skill element to be worthwhile in a finite human lifetime, but it can't hurt to take a look and crunch some numbers. And who knows? Maybe I'll screw up and win something. Stranger things have happened... back - next All Rights Reserved, Copyright 2002-2017 by Elaine Radford
