10,000 Birds

JANUARY 19, 2014

Outlook and goals for 2014. In a funny twist of fate, it seems that 2014 will be much the same as 2012 and 2013 have been, with family trips to somewhere in France and business trips to Indonesia and Kazakhstan. What about the competitive element in my 2014 year list? A very good start into 2014. See more than 20 lifers.
