The First Shot at a New Years Resolution

It is getting close to New Years. The various religions around the world use this Winter time for atonement, reflection, and or goal setting.

I think that the Boy Scout/Girl Scout pledge may encompass many of my goals this year.. or at least get me started toward them.

I promise to do my best to do my duty to God and my Country and to obey the Boy/Girl scout laws. Some of those include thruthful, kind courteous, helping others.
Throw in prepared, organized (a new one) responsible and supportive. Also I will try to be more fit.

This morning the walk was good. It was a little warmer out. I added the 20minute extension. I found Donna Ave and so it didn't become the 45min. extension.

I was listening to the podcast from PRI To the Best of Our Knowledge. It was concerning travel. The segment was <"Wherever you go, there you are."Podcasts are really nice to listen to as you walk if you are in a quiet neighborhood. They are maddening in high traffic zones. Podcast are usually free and they download through your Itunes store. You can also download to your computer and load them into ITunes.
This morning's was about travel. One of the program parts was about a book by Jason Roberts on James Holman. The book is A Sense of the World: How a Blind Man Became the World's Greatest Traveler. He was a turn of the century blind world traveler James Holman. He was the first blind man to climb Mount Vesuvius during an eruption. He was sort of the anti tourist traveler. He always traveled without an entourage and found that people would provide more information to a blind man that what the tourist could see.

I hope that you can get into some podcasts.. : ) Pat
