I’m pleased to look back and think about how 2009 was a banner year for me:

Anne & I have had a wonderful life together in ‘09
I think my personal growth has left me in an improved place compared to a year ago
I’m enjoying the most challenging and rewarding job I’ve ever had
I’ve successfully tackled my primary 2009 resolutions
- Matt & I have a much-improved relationship
- I’ve completed my first semester at school
- The house moving along quite nicely, and at an affordable pace
- We haven’t yet networked the house, but the office is essentially completed in the manner I imagined
- I am ~~generally~~ sometimes playing fewer video games
- other technical details have been advanced, more or less
It’s amazing to be writing this from our rental’s balcony on the western side of Kona, HI. Overlooking the pristine Pacific is quite marvelous.

As for 2010:

Resolutions

Improve my study habits. Dramatically.
Honestly challenge myself to spend time in meaningful (yet still enjoyable) manners, by default. There are still far too many timesinks in my life that do not return any more enjoyment than the things I truly wish to do.
In keeping up with the above resolution: be mindful to acquire new skills or knowledge as opportunities arise.
Maintain my momentum with career and/or school
