My Goals for 2012

• Lose 20 lbs

• Pay off the other car
• Replace the last non-flat panel screen.
• Use up the cards in my desk by actually sending out mail to people.
• Buy a new couch
• Use up the massages, then cancel Massage Envy Account
• Consolidate domains in one place
• Accomplish something on The Sekrit Project

Last weekend, I had the joy of attending a Sherlock fanmeetup in San Francisco. (Yes…that’s on my list. Huzzah! one more down.) We met for food at the Pig & Whistle pub, and then went to the California Academy of Sciences. A great time was had by all, I I took many photos (some of which even look decent.) When I finally returned home and started working my way through said photos, though, I had (as Hercule Poirot would say) “a little idea.”

So, if I can pull it together, stand by for a couple of posts about a similar trip into The City, that may have occurred in a Universe quite close to ours…

So, here we go with round 2. And this time around, the emphasis is rather more in line with my theme for 2011 (though, this will obviously be around longer than that.)
(If you want to calculate an end date for something, I recommend going here.)
