finally made it back to michigan. it's -1 farenheit. i can't remember the last time i saw a temperature below zero. it's bitterly cold and i really miss the desert. but here i am, and here i'll be at least through the winter.

i was looking at a map while mixing my theraflu (i'm deathly sick too, but i won't complain about that, because, well, it seems to be a common theme for me lately) and i realised that i made it to 29 states (not counting the district) in 2009. i logged somewhere in the neighborhood of twenty thousand road trip miles. that's an all-time high. 'twas the worst year on record for me, but at least i got around, eh?
anyway, i was in DC yesterday. it was really amazing. my first dev of 2010 will be a statement of sorts. i may get it posted tonight if the drugs don't kick in too soon.
gearing up for the most depressing day of the year next saturday. this one promises to be better than the last couple (not that the bar is very high) so i guess there's that...
other than that, i'm exhausted. just wanted to pop in and say happy new year to everyone.
oh yeah, something fun (or not, we'll see) i signed up for
formspring. if you're not familiar, it's one of those 'ask me anything anonymously and i'll answer' sites. so, if there's something you've been dying to know about me, or just want to feed my endless narcissism, pop over and ask me something. i promise to answer anything. so have fun with it. or don't.
well, the drugs are starting to take hold and my eyelids are getting heavy, so i think i'm going to bid you adieu. hope everyone had a safe new year celebration. here's to a better 2010.
be excellent to each other
