Since moving to New England last February, I've quickly discovered and have grown fond of Maine. Dani and I have taken several trips up there over the past 9 months. We've visited Camden, our friend's rural lake house in Monmouth, and had also took several trips to the Wells / Ogunquit area.
Ever since I was young, I've had a bit of an obsession with toys. Especially action figures. Being a child of the 80's I grew up with the like of He-Man and She-Ra, Ghostbusters, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Thundercats, Silverhawks, GI Joe, and Voltron to name but a very few.
Since the wife and I moved to Boston, I've been fortunate to quickly find quite a bit of hockey to play. Since I've been here I think I've skated about 2-3 times per week on average. I found this great hockey [company/group/organization/not sure what you call it] called StinkySocks hockey.
Since starting with BEAM Interactive in Boston a couple of months ago I have been extremely busy building a couple of new sites for Saucony. One of them is an ongoing user-generated content inspiration project with weekly prizes entitled the "Find Your Strong Project".
I've had two huge location changes in my life that I can remember. The first was when I moved to Florida in 2005, and then when I moved back to Illinois in 2008. In three weeks I will embark on the third great move of my life. The wife and I are pulling up stakes, hitching up the wagon and heading east.
So another year has come and gone and we being anew. I started last year on this blog laying out some of my goals for the coming year so I could look back and see how many of them I accomplished. Last year I set the following as my goals for 2011.
I had hockey practice tonight. Coming off a week where I felt I have played some of my best hockey in a long time, I had a moment of self-realization tonight in which I saw how my confidence enhanced my performance. Not stopping a shot wasn't a possibility that crossed my mind.
A year ago after Dani and I got married, we decided to wait to take our honeymoon until this fall. We talked about a few different options... Europe, Mexico, maybe Costa Rica. I really wanted to visit Hawaii. So I searched online and eventually found a travel package that we could afford.
