New Year’s resolutions 2008

New Year’s resolutions

I thought I would write a few new years resolutions for 2008. I hope I will be able to complete all of them.

1. Be a better husband and friend to my wife: I do not think that I am a bad husband, but I think I should try everyday to be the best husband I can
2. Lose Weight: This is a must. Really need to lose some weight. I want to be healthier and have my cloths fit better.
3. Continue to make “A’s” in all my college classes.
4. Be more patient when playing poker: I have been going on tilt after being sucked out on. I know that I have been making good plays, but after a bad loss I really need to tighten down and not loosen up.
5. Change the P4 database to a SQL database.

Thanksgiving trip

Well another thanksgiving has come and gone. The wife and I went to her family’s houses up north. On Thursday November 15th we flew into Dulles airport in northern Virginia. We rented a car and stayed the night at her parent’s house. On Friday we drove to Poughkeepsie, NY to my wife’s sister house. We arrive about 5 or 6 PM. My sister-in-law’s husband is out of town until Saturday, so the 3 of us get dinner at the Eveready diner. The food was very good.

On Saturday we decide to go into “The City”. We took the train into Grand Central station. Then we used the subway system. FYI I have never been on either a Train or the New York Subway. While in New York I got to see 3 things that I have I wanted to see.

1. Statue of Liberty
2. Eilis Island
3. Time Square

After walk around “The City” we took the train back to my sister-in-law’s house. On Sunday we went to FDR’s house and the Vanderbilt Summer Home.

On Monday we drove back to Northern Virginia, but we stopped at Gettysburg, Maryland. We bought a 2 hour audio tour CD that you play in your car. It was a very overcast day and kind of set the mood for the tour of the Battle field.

The rest of the time in DC we sat around and got to eat.

On Sunday November 25th we drove back home with my wife’s parents. It was LONG!!!!! Traffic was terrible! We left at 7 AM and did not get home until 2:30 AM Monday morning.
