The Year in Review

This is a kind of obligatory post now, isn't it? On the other hand, there was a lot that went on this year and recap really does seem in order.

• Macworld! I finally nabbed the opportunity to be a part of it this year, and while it wasn't all roses, there was surely some awesomeness as well. All in all, a great experience.

• Traveling: In addition to San Francisco, I hit up Washington D.C. for a day, Portland and Corpus Christi for a week apiece, and of course, two major roadtrips — first across the continent to Jacksonville, Florida, and then sweeping across another half ot it to peruse Route 66.

• We moved out of the Deliicous house — just across the street, really, but you know how I hate moving. Yay for professional movers! Now if only I could get around to procuring a desk and living room seating.

• Oh, and there was work stuff too. I got promoted twice (if you consider a parallel move to a much larger voume place as a promotion as well), which was fun and profitable.

• I attended at least 3 beer festivals this year, which is more than I ever have. In fact, I'm not 100% sure I went to a beer festival before this year. Huh.

• The agony and the ecstasy (but mostly the agony): I took part in organized sports this year, which I haven't done since high school. Sure, it was only bowling and I mostly did it for the beer, but still. It was pretty great while it lasted.

For these and other reasons, this past year is really one of my favorites of being alive. Here's hoping 2007 is as good to me — and I don't foresee any reason why it wouldn't be. Cheers!

* For anyone keeping track, here's last year's same post.
