I have totally succeeded at this.

I highly recommend the book “She Comes First”

....it doesn’t hurt that my wife is coming into her prime either.

Life is good.

1/2 way there.

God it feels good.

I have made a buttload of progress on this. I have completely changed my mindset. The only major obstacle that I haven’t had much success on up to this point is weigh loss.

I must be determined and refuse to allow failure.

I set my mind to it and now I’m the listener. It helps that I’m the boss….I kinda have to listen.

I now own a bike. And a little trailer for the kids. Now I just need to use the damn thing more.

doesn’t give me a choice any more. I’m no longer a man of leisure.

Not perfect, but it runs.

OK, carb. rebuilt.

Ignition replaced.

Starter replaced.

100 bucks and I’ll have the little pieces around the carb. that need to be replaced.

Then all I need is to have a key made for the doors and get the windshield wipers to work and I’m set.

Sweet!

They say that you have to do something for 21 days to make it a habit.

I lasted about that long, but took too many odd days off for odd reasons.

To use skateboarding terminology, I just need to be married to the trick. I need to be so devoted to achieving it that I’m not afraid to bowl over other obligations.

Truth is I think I sorta invent obligations just because it’s not a solid habit yet.

It makes me feel so much better.

We haven’t charged anything on a card since July 2005.

I feel so much better already.

I’m pretty sure I already do this. I’ve just decided that my reckless optimism can get me anywhere I want to be.

I just need to focus and do rather than talk about doing.

I need to quit setting so many goals and achieve a few.

to the YMCA for my first workout in about 20 minutes. Here’s to sticking with it and making a change in my life.

...all I remember is that my uncle drove me there and spilled his beer on the headstone. I’ve never been so offended in my life. I would actually like to go there again by myself and have time to reflect.

It’s a start.

I just don’t have the gonads. I have a 2 yr old and a 3 yr old and I’m the bread winner. My wife takes nearly no risks whatsoever. I am a risk-taker at heart and we’ve had several good ideas. It just needs to be the right time I guess.

I just don’t stick with it.

What I really want is to build concepts and have someone else build the websites.

I’ll get there though.

That’s something isn’t it?

My office is perfect. It’s just my house. I have a 2 yr old boy and a 3 yr old girl. I may have to just keep trying for a few years. They can’t quite get the hang of chores yet.

We are teaching them how to clean up after themselves, but they just don’t have the skills to do it consistently and for some god-awful reason we keep feeding them syrup and catsup and jelly and peanut butter,etc…

We all make a difference. The question is; do we make a positive difference or a negative one?

I’m hoping my impact will be positively felt for years.

I know my wife has. She is constantly talking to people about making better decisions, i.e. recycling, breastfeeding, cloth diapers, fuel efficient cars, fewer T.V.’s etc…

I hope to make the impact she makes and more soon.

C’mere money. Good little money. Now jump in my pocket so I can go buy lumber.
