           <title>Wilber: 1. What did you do in 2013 that you&#39;d</title>
           <link>http://www.idkfa.com/v3/v_thread.php?thread_id=5891&amp;msg_id=5917</link>
           <description>1. What did you do in 2013 that you&#39;d never done before?     2013 was strikingly similar to 2012 on the surface.     2. Did you keep your new years&#39; resolutions, and will you make more for next year?     I succeeded on several, failed one that is somewhat perennial. I generally write down a few every year. Next year&#39;s are pretty esoteric, though.     3. Did anyone close to you give birth?     J-Sulz (did I just coin that?), Danger, and two cousins, as well as some pregnancies and such. Busy baby year.     4. Did anyone close to you die?     I always think really hard about this question, because how awful is it if you forget someone?     5. What countries did you visit?     Canada, Mexico, some island nations, technically the Netherlands since Curacao is part of the Dutch Antillies.     6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?     Maybe a home, although I don&#39;t mind the gypsy life.     7. What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?     August 11th (ish?) when I asked a question that was responded to with &quot;uhhhhhhh&hellip; sure but let&#39;s talk about it.&quot;     8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?     Although I feel there were a variety of victories over the year, it would be difficult to sum them up in one specific thing.     9. What was your biggest failure?     As usual, I would have liked to have been in better contact with my friends afar.     10. Did you suffer illness or injury?     I think I had gout. Also, hemorrhoids. SORRY IF THAT GROSSES YOU OUT. And a wart. Ugh, I&#39;m old.     11. What was the best thing you bought?     Hulu plus?     12. Whose behavior merited celebration?     Supreme Court on the DOMA stuff I guess. Also, investors for making my stocks continue to climb.     13. Whose behavior made you appalled?     Government, of course. But mostly just divisive uncompromising conservatives.     14. Where did most of your money go?     Airfare, hotels, rental</description>

           <description>Sorry But you&rsquo;ll have to go find last years answers on your own.       1. What did you do in 2013 that you&#39;d never done before?     Real ski mountaineering, climbed all the way to the top of Mt. Hood and skied pretty much all the way down     2. Did you keep your new years&#39; resolutions, and will you make more for next year?     Made none that I remember, kept none that I remember     3. Did anyone close to you give birth?     Hanus&rsquo;s, Hughes&rsquo;s, bunch of people at work&hellip; lots of babies this year     4. Did anyone close to you die?     My grandfather, my namesake passed away early in 2012. It was a shitty trip to Kansas     5. What countries did you visit?     Made it to Mexico this year.     6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?     Some kind of personal growth or career path, or just path in general I can be excited about.     7. What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?     I don&rsquo;t think I will remember a specific day this year.     8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?     I finally made my goal of an 800 mile bike to work month.     9. What was your biggest failure?     Personal Failure? Well I got turned back on Mt Stuart yet again this year. That&rsquo;s now three times I&rsquo;ve bailed.     10. Did you suffer illness or injury?     None that were noteworthy.     11. What was the best thing you bought?     New car to replace the old Exploder, my Mitsubishi Outlander is hella sweet.     12. Whose behavior merited celebration?     Maybe I was really self centered this year but for #12 and 13 I really don&rsquo;t know, I guess I wasn&rsquo;t paying enough attention to other people this year.     13. Whose behavior made you appalled?     See #12     14. Where did most of your money go?     Overall probably mortgage and childcare, I still spend all of my personal monies on mountaineering gear, but this year we did lay down some fatty stacks to have a sweet</description>

           <description>Here is my previous year&rsquo;s list. Seems 2013 was kind of a stagnant year for me!           1. What did you do in 2013 that you&#39;d never done before?     Went on dates. Some were good, some were bad, but dating in general sucks.           2. Did you keep your new years&#39; resolutions, and will you make more for next year?     Don&rsquo;t think I made any. I have goals for turning 30, but no resolutions.           3. Did anyone close to you give birth?     The chosen Hanus was birthed. Danger was born. More friendspawn to come.           4. Did anyone close to you die?     Thankfully, no.           5. What countries did you visit?     USA, RMI, Iceland, UK, France, Germany, Switzerland           6. What would you like to have in 2014 that you lacked in 2013?     Long term plans. I have made no progress after noting this last year.           7. What date from 2013 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?     November 27, the long haul was finally over (Kwaj &ndash; Europe &ndash; Greely &ndash; CA &ndash; OR &ndash; Kwaj &ndash; home). Great trip, but that was a lot of consecutive travel. Also, don&rsquo;t remember the date, but I will not soon forget the bear encounter.           8. What was your biggest achievement of the year?     A survivor promotion?           9. What was your biggest failure?     No career development or life achievement.     10. Did you suffer illness or injury?     The knee hurts when it&rsquo;s cold. And it&rsquo;s always cold.           11. What was the best thing you bought?     Various plane tickets.           12. Whose behavior merited celebration?     Pope Francis           13. Whose behavior made you appalled?     The Republican party. Fuck those guys.           14. Where did most of your money go?     Even being homeless for a stint, probably rent. Then food. Then Amazon.           15. What did you get really, really, really excited about?     Iceland           16.
