“To continue to work toward making Oklahoma City the shining city on the plains that it must become; take the family to Yellowstone/ Tetons this summer so that we can get as close to a grizzly as possible without being eaten (Note to self: Stock up on bells and pepper spray); and read more physics books to determine options for either 1) cloning, or 2) extending the space-time continuum to mitigate the limitations of the 24-hour day.”

“Back trouble limited my exercise in 2011, so I hope to get back to ‘most days,’ instead of ‘a few days per week’ — 250-plus workouts would feel good. My 20th wedding anniversary is in 2012, and I’d like my wife to feel like spending 20 more with me, so that makes my goal to be the best husband I can be to her. My family spent a lot of time in doctors’ offices in 2011; only wellness visits in 2012, please!”
