Spend

Like many, I'm ambivelant about the stimulus package that was passed. We probably needed to restructure the banks first (mostly by nationalizing or preprivatizing them or whatever you want to call it) before spending a ton of money.

I do like the website that is set up to track the spending program at recovery.gov. At least we will know where the money is going, which is a nice change of pace.

Goals

As a good project manager, I'm providing a status report on my goals for 2009.

  1. Do two triathlons. I am able to run again. I'm slow, but at least I can run.
  2. Coach my daughter's lacrosse team. Still planning to do this.
  3. Learn something new. No progress.
  4. Swim 50 miles over the course of the year. Ahead of schedule here. I swam 15,500 yards in January (8.85 miles). I'm still insanely slow, but improving.
  5. Pass an SAP certification exam. I've been studying for the SAP PM exam and plan on scheduling it for March.

Overall, a decent showing. Nothing is off the list yet, but we've got 11 months to go.
