2011 and beyond.

2010. goodbye.
2011. hello.

Three things I'm going to miss:
Barry, Bo and the MIB crew at the Euclid office.
Hawaii, turkey-style.
The Jeep, RIP.

Three things I'm not going to miss:
The insanity that was the first apartment.
The previous salary.
The futon, kind-of.

Three things to look forward to:
The completion of MIB.
New responsibilities, and the chaos that will ensue.
The Griffis Olympics and Coos Bay, Oregon. enough said.

Three things that will be did*:
Run a faster race.
Completion of one project, the beginning of another.
FINISH.

2010 Post Mortem:
A lot of things were left undone that could have been completed. Whether it was fatigue, the living situation or just plain forgetfulness, all-in-one these are the same. Excuses.

Year-One was about learning. Year-Two is about applying.
There are no more excuses for not working harder.

Plain and simple, it all comes down to desire, and I want it more.
I will not quit, I cannot quit. I will push myself harder than you.

This is the dawn of a most exciting time, welcome to the New Year.
Watch. Observe. Follow.

who says tryptophan is a bad thing...

turkey day 2010 was a bit of treat. hawaii. two-times in two-years. just like old times, except with little ones involved. i honestly don't know how to describe it - but sometimes the only way is to just to say it, life is good.

anyway, i'm not here to gloat. just share the wonderment that is this majestic place as well as the family.
