State of the Union:
It's a new year, so I'd like to take stock of how things are.
Things I'm happy with:

• my profession
  
• how my children are developing into adults
  
• the amount of reading I've been doing lately
  
• my progress on the swim team
  
• the city in which I live - it works nicely for me right now and holds much prosperity
  
• the group of people that I work with

Things I'd like to (or have plans to) change:

• the upstairs rooms in our house
  
• how much I'm on my bike
  
• the layout and design of my website
  
• the condition of our second vehicle - essentially a broken-down rustbucket
  
• how little time I spend with my friends
  
• how slowly our company is growing

Stay tuned for further developments.
