"Make your life a mission - not an intermission." - Arnold H. Glasgow

I just noticed that our "Keepin' Tabs" website counter is at 9,997. How awesome would it be to have 10,100 visits in one year, by the beginning of April? I'd love to have you leave me a comment on this post when you visit so I know who to send good vibes out to for helping me reach my lofty, albeit incredibly lame, goal. (Please know, I'm not above clicking on my own blog each and every day if that's what it takes, but I'd much rather share the joy with all of you.)

Speaking of lame but lofty goals, how would Buddy & I ever have achieved some of the amazing (read: wacky) things we've done over the years without first setting goals.
If he hadn't set goals, Buddy wouldn't have...

...dropped a parachute man off a building that no longer exists (DT).

...ridden a ridiculously small tricycle without breaking it.

...handrail surfed at the Salt Lake City airport.

...been kissed by a lady other than his wife without getting in trouble.
...(almost) squeezed himself into the world's oldest jumpsuit.
...seen a liger (lion-tiger cross) stuffed or otherwise....gotten sweet air in a tube, despite weighing a collective 330 pounds (I won't go into any specifics on weight distribution).

Without setting goals, Michelle would never have...

...conquered a fear and gotten into water with fish bigger than her. And touched them.

...pretended to shoot with Karl "The Mailman" Malone.
...shed those last few pounds to get rid of her old underwear.
...after several years, finally bested the Wheel of Fortune at Chuck E. Cheese's.
...won the Spouse-Lifting Championship in Moscow, Idaho and lived to tell about it.
And last, but certainly not least, we never would have been able to find the perfect someone to grow old with, without growing up.

Speaking of growing old...HAPPY BIRTHDAY, BUDDY! (I'll give you a proper tribute when you figure out how to sing my praises via the blog.)In conclusion, goals are incredibly important to us and have gotten us this far. So what do you say, will you help me make it to 10,100?
