So far:
1. Heard Blues Traveler, Gato Barbieri, and Aztec Two-Step perform live. Still to come: DJ Shadow/Cut Chemist, the Black Crowes, Trey Anastasio.
2. Seen Iron Man and Mongol in the theatre and Rocket Science and Sweeney Todd at home.
3. Almost finished reading Sacred Games (just hit p. 660/~900).
4. Gone to beaches local and far away.
5. Participated in (and led for an afternoon) CWP’s Teaching with Power course.
6. Bought a new bookcase and moved my couch to a better spot.
7. Played a lot of music.
8. Broken in my new grill. It’s charcoal and it’s the manliest thing I own.
9. Learned a lot about myself and my relationships with others.
10. Removed more edubloggers from my Google Reader rolls. Instead, I’m now reading stuff like Stamford Talk and Big Contrarian. It’s much better for my soul.
Still to come:
1. A recital this Friday.
2. A wedding this Saturday.
3. Gathering of the Vibes, Newport Folk Festival, and Oliver Mtukudzi two weekends from now.
4. At least one trip to the big flea market on the PA/NJ border.
5. Quality time with people I love.
6. Rereading Moby-Dick so I can teach it this fall.
7. Less computer time. More outside time.
8. Repeating #7.

I like your list. Good idea to take stock; not necessarily for goal-setting purposes, but just bc it’s fun to see what other people do with their time.
I’m with you on the uneducational google reader. I am so pleased to be on your list.
Can you put links to some of your other regular sites in your sidebar so I can maybe pick up some new good blogs?
