#60: Take a Class Just finished our second true Argentinean tango lesson. Still working with two left feet.
#100: Find a regular barber After nearly a decade of frequenting cut rate, supercutesque “hair stylists”, I have finally began my quest to find a regular barber. Baxter and Finley might be it. I got a cut & shave and as much as I want to love a straight razor shave, it just hurts too damn much. With that said, this place may just…

#96 Maximize Credit Card Rewards Replaced three horrible Visa’s with their Black Card that will provide some better rewards.
Business may have been down a bit in 2013, but we did our best not to let it slow us down. Here’s a quick look back. We started the year off with a bang in Rome, Italy. We went to Vegas a lot. And ended the year at the craps table in the black. We toured a few out of state colleges, but Brittany…
#57: See 10 Movies in the Theater. Fell one movie short in 2013. Started 2014 early with American Hustle. It won’t be a classic, but it was better than most over the last year.

#80: Family Vacation We loved Puerto Rico. The hotel was great. Everyone but Brittany won at the casino. The beaches were beautiful. The food was comforting. And the people were extremely friendly. Lots of reasons to return.

Eastern: Atlanta, GA. – Key West, Florida – Seaside, FL – Montreal, BC 4. Central European Time: Rome, Italy 5. East Africa Time Zone: Tanzania 6. Atlantic Time Zone: Puerto Rico
#52: Read 10 new books An excellent and horrifying family memoir from a great writer.
Headed to a locals only joint and we were not dissappointed.
I let Brittany drive and she reciprocated by tossing me off into the ocean.
Before we left Chicago for Los Angeles, the kid’s daycare consisted of grandparents and aunts. It was during this time that their pallets fell in love with Puerto Rican food. Because of this, we sought out the busiest diner in old San Juan and ordered some traditional fare. Sonia and the kids were in heaven.
#68 Enjoy 3 New Beaches Dipped my toes into the warm Puerto Rican waters.
59. Make Christmas great for someone I don’t know. Brittany and I returned to K-Mart and took care of a half of a dozen layaway accounts set to expire tomorrow. Hopefully it makes for a great Christmas for at least one of them.
We actually completed this goal awhile ago, but tonight’s chili makes it official.
Writers waxing poetic about doing what I would like to wax poetic about.
