What’s Next? Last year, I had some goals, but in some respects, I think I failed. I didn’t keep up with the list, I failed to post regularly. Part of it was my 15-minutes of fame with Federal Way Graffiti, part of it was the busy-ness of life, but part of it was a lack of clear goals and poor follow-through. So this year, clearer goals, intermediate goals, and scheduled review of my goals. So, what are my goals?
- A least 1 visit Vancouver/Portland
- At least 1 overnight stay somewhere (not in California or Yakima or Silverdale)

- At least 2 visits to Yakima
