In no particular order, the three things were: Become fluent in a foreign language, learn to play a musical instument, and finish one of the novels I have started.
Last night, playing the ukulele in front of a bar full of people with my amigos in The Four Headlamps, I'm there with the musical-instrument goal.
I have a looooong way to go before I will consider that I am any good on the uke, but playing in public was a big deal because it's one thing to sit at home and test your musical abilities, another to test your tonsils in public.
We chose a funny song, "I Think I'm Dancin' With A Man," which went over pretty well, even with my delivery being a little soft.
And the other goals? Well, my Spanish is improving poco a poco and it's possible I'll start hacking away on one of the books again soon.
Or maybe a start a new tome, about a retired college professor who loves Cuba Libres and hangs out on the beach.
