I’ve pretty much completely flopped for January and it will be pretty tough to do in February with Valentine’s Day. I’ll try again in March, since April has Easter, which would also be tough. I still haven’t had any alcohol though and I only ate a mammal once this month. Keep on keepin on.

How I did it: I reviewed old textbooks, read Spanish magazines, watched Spanish TV, did free online courses and flashcards at livemocha.com and had a reasonably-priced weekly online tutor from Argentina at edufire.com. My youngest son is taking Spanish in school so I am still using it a little bit, but I am marking this goal as done for now as I do not plan to do a lot of self-study with Spanish this coming year. Read how I did it…
This may not be realistic for me since I do love beef and lamb and it is so hard to refuse hospitality. Last night my friend took me out to a great restaurant and ordered a luscious papaya beef dish. I could not refuse. I am going to modify this resolution to be not to eat mammals more than once a month.
I’m switching to the New International 2010 version of the Bible. It’s so much easier to understand.
The chronological format I’m using has Job after Genesis. What’s up with that? I should google it.
