In 2009…

I gained pre-hypertension and a new doctor.
I lost 8 lbs (and counting!).
I stopped eating sweets and/or desserts.
I started riding my exercise bike (at least a few times a week).
I was hugely satisfied by my company’s recent stock valuation.
And frustrated by my raise.
I am so embarrassed that I am now using a Blackberry.
Once again, I am a hypocrite towards a new annoying technology.
Once again, I am questioning my career choices.
The biggest physical difference between me last December and this December is that I have a beard.
The biggest psychological difference between me last December and this December is that I now accept that my parents will not always be here.
I loved spending time in Myrtle Beach.
Why did I spend even two minutes sending Mark a Christmas card.
I should have spent more time with Liam.
I regret buying that stupid bed frame!
I will never regret buying tickets to Ricky Gervais even though with that money I could have bought a more comfortable retirement.
I think about food way too much.
I didn’t
rub my wife’s back enough.
Right-wing conservatives drove me crazy.
Was Lost crazier than ever last year? Or was it me?
The most relaxing place I went was to Stoweflake Spa in Stowe,  Vermont.
I feel so calm when I write that down.
Why did I go to South Carolina on United Airlines?
The best thing I did for someone else was spending time with my Dad after his surgery.
The best thing I did for myself was finish paying off my car loan.
The best thing someone did for me was saving my Dad’s life.
The one thing I’d like to do again, but do it better, is
to stay in touch with my best friends.
