Feb '10 - Learn A Test

So, the abundance of resources at the public library NEVER ceases to AMAZE meee.
I say this, partly because I just got back from CLiC, which is a sure-fire way to re-instill the passion I have for libraries, but also because when I go through the Learn-A-Test site, I think of at least 5 people I know who could benefit from different aspects it offers.

I scrolled through some of the different options, and finally decided to take part of the Citizenship course. I was given twelve questions, and I triumphantly aced nine of them. (Gimme a break, I haven't had fifth grade history for quite some time now..) I feel like all Americans should at least 'try' the full version of this test a few times in their life. I believe it would make us all better citizens and remind us both what our rights are, but also our 'duties' as citizens of America. Fo sho.

9 outta 12 ain't bad, I expected worse.

The Ultimate Happiness Prescription by Deepak Chopra

After reading through some of the FAQs and How-To's, I proceeded to download this title by Mr Chopra, as I've long intended to open of his books but never reached out and actually did it. I was pleased to find the first chapter focusing on awareness of the body, as this is something that I can relate to at this time in my life.
I am cautious of what my body ingests, and I have become very active, even in the face of winter, and I feel better than ever before. Bigger, stronger, faster.

Some 2010 goals to keep me feeling this way:

Climb 60,000 vertical feet.
Ski descent on a Colorado 14er.
Skydive Moab.
