- Get elected to the PASS board of directors. I have come up short the past two years, so why not keep trying to crack this nut? Chances are the competition will be tougher, but that should not stop me from giving it another go.
- Find a way to merge my Six Sigma training into streamlined Database Administration tasks. Well, since my company sent me to the training, this one is a given.

- Go Virtual We have a need here to explore the use of virtual technologies in order to reduce operational costs, which means I have a need to learn more.
- Spend more time with my children. In the past few years I have not spent as much time with them as I should, and this bothers me. So, I need to find ways to get my twelve hour days crammed into seven so that I can go home, NOT log back into work, and enjoy my children for a few hours before they go to bed.
