2005 Goals. It is that time of the year when I start to contemplate my goals for 2004 and the goals that I will have for 2005. Didn't do that well for 2004, mostly because of my massive travel that I hadn't really expected. I weigh almost exactly what I did this time last year, so losing 10-12 pounds didn't happen. I didn't get a chance to write much, so that novel that I was working on is still be worked on, just not very much. I did shoot a lot of picutres this year (a couple thousand), but few were of the quality that I had wanted.

So now I look at 2005. I suppose that the weight thing stays on the table because I didn't accomplish it for the past year. The book was a little out there, so I will probably back off and just commit to doing a complete outline and 50,000 words. That is doable. As for the photography, I will be getting my new camera by my birthday and will commit to doing a complete portfolio of 52 terrific pictures, complete my online portfolio and change this web site to a web site dedicated to the EOS digital system. Think that I will be doing a personal site, something along the line of RickAbbott.com or RicksPix.com, maybe RickAbbottPhotography.com. Thoughts?
