75 in 2007

Filed Under Books and Culture | Leave a Comment

I just want to take a moment to brag on myself.  I actually accomplished one of my goals in 2007.  In 2006 I pledged to attempt to read 75 books but came up one book short.  I renewed my pledge in 2007 and rededicated myself to the challenge.  And I succeeded in reading 80 books last year!

So that is one goal I can cross off as having met.  Who says no one achieves their New Year’s Resolutions?

I am not going to make such a pledge this year, however, as it is already clear that my time and focus are going to be severely challenged.  Things might change, but right now I can’t set that as a goal and be realistic.

What a great way for Lloyd Carr to go out.  This is what this team was supposed to be capable of before everything fell apart the very first week.  The Wolverines made their fans proud today and allowed their coach to leave with on a positive note and with fond memories.  I am happy to see Chad Henne and Mike Hart win a bowl game after all they have been through.  A tinge of regret that they could have stayed healthy this year to see what they could have accomplished.

But I will certainly have a smile on my face this week.  Now, the program can look to the future and a fresh start.
