Celebrating Kenwood’s 1st Birthday

#5 Done

#5: Read a top 100 novel. So good. “I believe that there is one story in the world, and only one. . . . Humans are caught—in their lives, in their thoughts, in their hungers and ambitions, in their avarice and cruelty, and in their kindness and generosity too—in a net of good and evil. . . .

If it weren’t for the dinners, I’d never go to a tradeshow again.

Happy Birthday, Dylan!

#2: Ring in the New Year. A fun night at the Magic Castle. After 17 years, I actually intended this to be my last post, but then my Aunt Ona called me today and I realized I needed to give it another year. Now I need to work on the list.

#28 Done

#28: Build an iPhone app. I’ve built five now. Four of them are business apps for our use. But this one was the most fun. https://shopcaddypro.com

#1: Read 25 Books. The man has become a master of writing unlikeable characters in boring and meaningless stories. He’s such a good writer that I always finish his books.
