La Bene Vita

But that's just my resume.

My profile of qualifications is only one of the ways in which I am unique. Here I chronicle my personal and professional goals and my efforts to achieve them. Occasionally I fail. Mostly, I take daily baby steps toward all my long-term goals. Much like the stories I pen, the songs I compose, and the businesses I run, I am always a work in progress.

Reach 300 students at MTMS  Open in new Window. by 12/31/11:
Not since yesterday. But, then, we're closed on Sundays.

Compile book inventory:
*Pencil* No activity.

Pick scheduling database by 7/31/11:
*Pencil* No activity.

Reading: One book per week.
*Writing* I started reading Eclipse last night and have gotten through the first hundred pages. A much quicker read than Jane Austen. I do plan to go back and read Sense and Sensibility in the near future, but probably after A Tale of Two Cities (see below.)

Writing:
(1) *Pencil* Blog at MT.com  Open in new Window. by the end of Wednesday: Not so much.
(2) *Thumbsdown* 30 minutes of daily freestyle writing: Instead, I did 30 minutes of analysis. Check out this list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_best-selling_books (leave it to Wiki.) Not only is A Tale of Two Cities at the top of the list, but it beats out its second place competitor, The Lord of the Rings, by a 33% margin. I had no idea it was the best of the best, and I'm ashamed to admit I've never read it. It's next on my list, after Eclipse.

Now, here is a list of the top 100 SONGS of all time: http://www.squidoo.com/100songs

With the exception of Johnny B. Goode, didn't see a driving or fast-paced dancing rhythm among the top 10. Even in the top 10, there are only 3 or 4. The majority of them are either ballads or groove rhythms. That's interesting, and good news for me, since the latter are more my style.

Count points:
Morning weigh-in: 168.2
Yesterday's points: 28
