Welcome 2010. My New Year’s Resolutions
Happy New Year!
2010 should be a good year on the professional and personal front. I expect the momentum for Bronto to continue into the new year. We’re picking up some great clients and talented employees so I’m thrilled to see what 2010 holds.
On the personal front, Karalyn and I expecting another baby in April. #4. Amazing. Never thought that I would be recreating my childhood but it’s true. It’s becoming harder and harder to pretend that I’m still 22. Not that I should, I’m enjoying it all.
Like every year, I try to shake things up with some New Year’s Resolutions. Here are the ones that I have so far:
- Clean Living — I’m going to exercise more and eat better. My near-term goal is to run the Raleigh Rocks Half Marathon at the end of March. I did it a couple years ago with mediocre results. I’m expecting a bit more this year and somehow I’ll find the time to train. To step up my efforts, I’m going to skip soda, alcohol, and junk food until the race. Hard core at least until April then I’m back to normal. With a new baby, I’ll need it.
- Deeper Connections — I’m going to connect better with people. The rise of social networks, although fascinating from a business point of view, feels particularly unfulfilling on the personal side. I’m going to spend more time focused on fewer things and try to get distracted less by things that don’t matter. As a first step, I’m quitting Facebook. We’ll see what else follows.
That’s all for now. Any other suggestions? I’m open to them.

Those sound like some great resolutions, Joe! In fact, that’s pretty much what I’ve “resolved” for this year as well. Wow! — you have a fourth baby on the way? Congrats to you and Karalyn and Happy New Year!
Thanks Tony. Great minds think alike!
Better eating. More exercise. Focus more on fewer things. So far so good. Of course, everything gets thrown into a tizzy with #4 (due April 10) but we’re looking forward to it.
