At least not in 2009. I overdid running and damaged my knees. Maybe next year?

How I did it: Tom got me a book and Carmen got me a calendar. Between the practice and vareity that the calendar provides, and the "learn how to teach yourself" of the book, I've really made a lot of progress. Not making those subspecies-specific bugs yet, but I am designing my own models, and the few I've worked on the most are getting pretty detailed. Read how I did it…
How I did it: We researched who around us has what. We looked at one place that has goat, since that sounded pretty interesting, but it was meh, so we went to a non-goat place planning to get a chicken (roasting it tonight) and some pork something. But of course, once we were there, not getting bacon and eggs just seemed ridiculous. Read how I did it…
How I did it: Red actually does mean stop. Always.Overthinking doesn't help the driving part.Underthinking hurts the written part.If you move to a new state, renew right away, or you'll have to go through it all again. Read how I did it…
See all "How I Did It" stories...
... but at least I have it on Google Docs now, so I can manage it from all over. Like the writing to people, I need some days of just trying to do as many as possible all at once.
The year is 1/4th over and I’ve done NONE of this. I think I’ll have to find some times to just do huge swaths at once. Does that make it less sincere?
