2011 Resolutions

On the heels of my fantastic post 2010 resolutions in review I give you my 2011 resolutions. It's a smaller list this year but I still need to work on my 2010 anyway.

1. Get in Shape. Of course it's on here. Seriously I'm getting up there in age better not add weight to it.

2. Find a new location for Portland Men on Sports. TVCTV will be shutting it's doors in the first half of 2011. We'll still film the show with our own equipment and TVCTV will still broadcast it. We need to find a new location or a few different locations. Let me know if you have any suggestions.

3. Finish writing Private Dics. Private Dics is a webseries that a friend and I have been working on for what seems like 2 years. We have a few episodes written but need to finish the first season story arc. Then of course comes the actually production. I'll settle for having it written.

4. Win the Roofball World Championship. If you know me then you know I love to play some Roofball. I've won the US Open and the RFA Cup leaving only the World Championship off my resume. Not only would I complete what I like to refer to as the COW (Cup, Open, Worlds) I'd be the first player to win all three tournaments. Problem is I only get one shot at it a year. Good news is I don't have to wait long it's 1.30.11.

2010 Resolutions in review

Before I get to my 2011 resolutions I wanted to review my 2010 items. Good thing keeping up with the blog was not one of them. I've have opportunities to add to it but I'm a lazy lazy person, lets just say I'm busy.

1. Get in shape. Fail! Did I get a new gym membership? Yes. Did I used it more than 20 times during the year? No. Bummer for me. You'll see this on the 2011 list I'm sure. It's getting time I get serious about it. No need to carry around extra poundage.

2. Place in a Roofball Tourney. Win. I wanted to finish in the top 3 of a roofball tournament this season. I lost in the second round of the World Championship and the US Open. BUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUT I did place in the RFA Cup. Did I say place I meant win. Yeah I won my second Roofball Tournament and need only to win the World Championship to be the first player to win all three tournaments.

3. Finish video projects. Even? Not sure how to grade this one. I finished one project and was very pleased with it. I worked on the Portland Raiders for months. I did not get as much accomplished on the webesode idea as I wanted.

4. Take Portland Men on Sports to a new level. Fail! While PMS is still alive and kicking, it is what it has always been. We did get a short segment from NYC but it's getting stale.

5. Redesign bookieproductions.com. Fail! If you saw the site last year you saw the site this year. Blah!

6. Start Mini-Golf league. Fail! This went no where in a hurry. Mid year I thought about starting a pitch and putt league but we'll have to wait until the weather turns.

7. Start looking for new house. Even? We looked throughout the year, still not ready to buy. Unless you see something...

A Vegas Thanksgiving

I'll make this short since I haven't updated the blog in a long time. Wait does the make sense? Like I have to ease you back in to it?

Anyway for Thanksgiving we made the trip to Las Vegas to spend the Holiday with Bree's family.

We got in town on Wednesday and checked into our hotel room at the Luxor. We spent most of the evening at Bree's aunt's place. That night Bob and I did some gambling.

On Thursday we went to Bree's aunts house again and hung out for a bit. Of course Thanksgiving means football so Bob, John and I hit up a bar until dinner was done. After dinner and some family time we went back out to the casinos. I played in a 33 person poker tournament and won. A nice $400 profit.

Friday Bob and I spent 12 hours in a sports bar watching college football. GO Ducks!

Saturday we took the kids to the Mandalay Bay Aquarium. They seemed to love it. Riley sprinted from one exhibit to the next.
