Projects for the new year

I don't like making resolutions, because they only end of being broken, but at the beginning of the new year I do make a list of projects to work on. Here is (most of) this year's list:

1. Train for a triathalon.
2. Asana: work on abs, forward bends, back bends
3. Pranayam: I'd like to decrease my resting breath rate to one per minute. I don't know if that's physically possible.
4. Drastically cut back on my television watching
5. Eat local/organic meat only
6. Writing project? Not sure what. Maybe one that I've contemplated in the past but haven't had the courage to start.
7. Visit Berlin and/or Paris and/or Ireland and/or... somewhere else
8. Read all of Jane Austen's novels

This is a much larger and more complicated list than I usually make. Fortunately, I'm not much attached to whether I accomplish these things. I do seem to be happiest when I have challenges to work on, though.

Welcome, 2010. Arthur C. Clarke would be so disappointed.
