- Eat the equivalent of 2 whole watermelons.
- Write 50 pages of "Un-named Project".
- Fall asleep on a hammock at least once (no idea when or where, but I must find a way).

- Breathe. A lot.

- Make as many toddler story times at the library as possible.
- At least 5 dates with my lovely wife (1 is already done).
- Sit around a camp fire together and look at the stars at least once (I hate DST for this, otherwise it would be a LOT more).

Very cool...and very ambitious...
If I may make a few suggestions...
Fiction: The Circle Trilogy by Ted Dekker ("Red", "Black", and "White") - it's LOTR meets the Matrix meets the story of Christ...I think you'd like it.
Non-Fiction: "The Year Of Living Biblically" by AJ Jacobs, and "The Unlikely Disciple" by Kevin Roose - both great books about the Bible and Christianity written from the viewpoint of a non-believer.
I've got all five books, but all but "Unlikely Disciple" are loaned out. I do expect "Black" & "Red" back in a few weeks, though, but most libraries have those.
I love the spending time with your wife and daughter goals, too...you can never do too much of that!!
Finally, if you need any help meeting the watermelon goal, or just someone to eat and spit seeds with ya, I'm there!!
