#97. Start an account for my wife's godson

So since I started this list, each month I've taken 10 bucks and set it aside for my wife's godson. One I hit $100 I went and bought a $200 savings bond. I'll continue to do this until the kid is 18. Then, we'll take the bonds down and cash em in and give him a nice graduation gift. The first savings bond arrived yesterday!

Unless the kid turns out to be an ass. Then we'll keep it :)

#56. Buy a GPS for running/biking

I saw a Garmin Forerunner 305 on sale at Amazon last week for around $160 (they normally cost $300) and I just had to pull the trigger. So now I can watch my heart rate, know my pace, and how far I've gone with this nifty little device.

If only it would stop snowing so I could give it a test run....
