Reset my goal :(
3 years ago
I wanted to lose 40 pounds by 2006… I did not do it. So no I’m going to try again for 2007. This may conflict with my goal to drink at least one pint of every known beer :)

North America – Denali
South America – Aconcagua
Australia – Kosciuszko
Europe – Elbrus
Africa – Kilimanjaro
Exclusions
Asia – Everest, due to cost, accessibility… maybe someday
Antarctica – Cost! ~26,000
Ocenia – Carstensz Pyramid (higher than Kosciuszko, but the Indonesian red tape make this one an unlikely objective at this time. If the political situation changes then this would be a welcome addition).
