It’s expected that at the end of the year most people who keep a website or blog will write some tribute to the past year and it seems that 2009 is no different.
In the past few weeks I have had Google Reader filled with various people listing the top 10 best of this or worst of that for 2009. The last time I did an end of the year post was to welcome in 2008, and I didn’t say anything in it except “Happy New Year.”
So here I am quickly running out of time but feeling obligated to post something whimsically relevant about the past year, or if I’m feeling particularly psychic about the New Year, but unable to come up with any of my own top 10 best/worst lists.
A lot of really cool things happened in 2009 and a lot of really bad things happened in 2009. Anecdotally though I’d say that overall, it wasn’t too darn bad. Humanity survived not just another year but a whole decade!
For me personally one event makes 2009 the best damn year since 1982:
On April 1st, 2009 I married Sandi and her three boys Jay, Zane and Gavin.
Yep, best damn year ever.
Happy new year, see you in 2010.
