Out with the Old and in with the New

Damn, that was long time between posts! In the last few weeks: went to a network marketing (MLM) sales presentation, signed up for personal training, dumped the chiropractor after personal training immediately showed results to relieve back pain that 15 visits to chiropractor had not, had a great end of year sales quarter, planned a trip to Las Vegas and got a promotion at work (when I was least looking for one).

start personal training once a week and additional gym twice a week
buy one more house
travel to Europe
take two real estate classes
be generous and giving
