The year in review:

2008 was a pretty great year for us, despite my IRA losing about 45% of is value in the last three months. Here are some of the Highlights:

1) I went from being Mr. The Bird Man to Dr. the Bird Man in May.

2) We (the family) moved from Missouri to Maryland...near the beach!

3) The Hot Librarian and I went to Hawaii for a 9 day vacation.

4) I learned that I have a problem with anger management and I need to make a consious effort to control my temper.

5) I got a sweet job.

6) The Hot Librarian got pregnant with our second baby.

7) The Demon Deacons became the Eagle Bank Bowl Champions!

8) I finally got an I-pod.

9) We sold our house in Missouri in only 5 days. (I say "we" but the hot librarian deserves all the credit)

10) I abandoned my long time Blog "Dis-Traction" and started this piece of shit blog.

11) A Democrat was elected President.

12) I shot a gun for the first time.

Yay!

I might compile a list of lowlights later, but I thought I'd start with the positives. Focusing on the positive is a good way to be less angry...or so I have read.
