So, this is what 2009 looks like? Not too shabby!

2008 was one hell of a year. There was enough drama, tension, tragedy, and upside-down-world level of change to satisfy me for a decade. I really, really need 2009 to be calmer and carry more good news then bad. Lisa & I are going to sit down and write out some of our goals for the new year. What do we expect to accomplish in our careers, personal lives, socially, and health wise during 2009. It’ll be interesting and I think it’ll get us both excited about the new year and all of the potential it represents.

I still have some more changes coming up, hopefully soon. It looks like we’re nearly done negotiating the short sale of my condo, so that should be complete in January. I start a new job at Boston College (as an independant consultant) on 12-January-2009, and I’m very excited about that. My brothers about to close on a new bar / restaurant in Michigan named Huck’s Blind Fish, and while I think there is some risk I think he is well prepared to deal with it and I hope this is the little money maker that he hopes. [I'd love to see it, the next time I'm in Michigan. That would be fun!]

There is a lot to be thankful for in 2008, not the least of which is that we survived it. Now, on to the new year!
