For me, August is the month to re-commit to all the projects and goals I've set for myself. Why? Well, you see, I turned another year older on July 30th and always take the time to re-evaluate the past year of my life. So here is what I reflected back on...
1- I retired from military service after 21 years.
2- I finished a novel for NaNoWriMo 2006.
3- I finished a movie script for ScriptFrenzy 2007.
4- I have begun to enjoy the word of Private Dental Practice.
5- We did a great spooky house for Halloween.
6- The Chargers did well in football... until the playoffs.
7- The Padres won the NL West.
8- The Tigers played in the World Series.
9- My kids made me the proudest father in San Diego. They're all smart, honest and hard working and the best kids a dad could ask for.
10- I've started back into our winemaking hobby.
11- The front yard and back yard are coming around and looking good.
12- I'm exercising every day by taking a one hour walk of about 4-5 miles.
13- I've become a better cook- by necessity.
14- I have begun several book projects and am making progress on them.
I've set some goals:
a- Travel to Europe for our 25th wedding anniversary in 2009.
b- Complete NaNoWriMo again this fall.
c- Do a great Pirates themed Halloween.
d- Lose 10 pounds by Christmas.
e- Begin running and run in a 5K race by Christmas.
So that's what happens when I enter August... for me it's New Year's Resolution Time!
Remember... Life's journey is not to arrive at the grave safely in a well preserved body- but rather to skid in sideways, totally worn out, shouting "holy s***...what a ride!" ----->Don't let your tombstone read: Died at 30- Buried at 80.

Good accomplishments and good goals.
I began running again this year and did the Carlsbad 5000. Put the money down on the race of your choice and then it'll force you to commite or waste money. Thats what I did anyway.
