Come on Mr White-White, it's time you joined in!

Hello there.

You may be surprised to read a blog entry from me. Up until now, I have been conspicuous in my absence. Mrs White-White has been by and large the main blog contributor to How To Play Like a Grown Up. After twice saying to her I needed to write more, she calmly pointed out my complete lack of presence here.

Well its time for me to put my money where my mouth is.

Inspired by Mrs White-White's recent post "2012 and I will be 30" I am sharing my commitments for the year. Some are similar to hers and some are unique to me. And because I am going to be 32 this year, I have a slightly longer list.
