I'm doing 42 things
This year, I’ve done a really good job learning about peru, with a focus on its history, with a focus on the Inca. I visited the country, read several simple broad history books, learned a small amount of Spanish, learned about peru more through reading all the informative sections of my footprint peru handbook, and sections on peruvian wildlife book we bought, skimmed the CIA factbook on the country, read Hiram Bingham’s lost city of the Incas, and currently reading the book by Garcilasco. so, Finish up that book, and maybe read the wildlife book more thoroughly. and done!
as far as playing catchup for the previous 2 years, astronomy catchup went well. there are still a few things to finish reading, and the galileo dialogues are going to take a long time, but should have this otherwise cleaned up by the end of the year.
which leaves us with “learning french” from year 2 very much up in the year. Fortunately, this years vacation looks like south east asia, so french is a suitable language to work on for the next year.
For my main goal in 2010, I’m adding the hopefully not too demanding subject of bread. I’m going to learn the science and history of bread making, as well as become a practiced breadmaker myself.
