Tim's List

FIRST OF ALL, Amy and I are thinking of not coming home for Christmas because our pet, who is EASILY the cutest out of all of the pets, didn't even make the vote!! WTFF (What the feathery FUDGE!)??

That's some BS (bull sugar).

What I'd love help with for 2010 is getting out and being more active! I sit and watch TV WAY TOO MUCH!! It's rather pathetic (ask Amy, she'll be able to give you an earful about it, trust me!). Well, like most things, she is CORRECT and I need to utilize my youthful legs much better than I currently am!

So, I'm going to focus on trail running/hiking next year as an activity. My request is to have local (local can mean anything with 3-4 hour drive) trails sent to me throughout the year. They can be in Maine, NH, Mass, VT, NY, or CT (even though CT kind of sucks at everything - 2nd worst state in the Country behind... what do you think is the worst?!).

The trails can be found online and if you want to buy gifts the books are the AMC Hiking Guide Series (I already have Maine) - I am most interested in are AMC's Best Day Hikes in the White Mountains: Four-Season Guide to 50 of the Best Trails in the White Mountain National Forest or Southern New Hampshire Trail Guide, 2nd: AMC Guide to Hiking Mt. Monadnock, Mt. Cardigan, and the Lakes Region.

The real goal here is eliminate lazy time. The solution is to find trails/outdoor activities that I can set aside time for to fill in those gaps. And the actual request is poking me in the rear end throughout the year and saying "Get off your ass and go hike this trail!"
