Review from last year:

• I did complete a puzzle (never got around to collecting and sharing pictures)
• I did scratch the “make a small app” itch
• No small book, but … there are some collage-ish scribbles I’ll pick up some other time
• No 10K, but … I did run 15 minutes (nearly) every Sunday morning

Tentative Resolutions:

• (this is a bit pointless, unless revised during the year, but still …)
• Sustain what little exercise routine I have!
• Try (or keep trying) to get a good sleep routine
• Complete one more puzzle
• In general, create and share more
