2009 in Review

Apparently 2009 sucked for a lot of people. Not for me. It was certainly better than 2008, with the completion or solutions of many things in my life, including finishing my graduate degree and moving to a much nicer home and neighborhood. I saw some great concerts, including Donna Summer and Kylie Minogue, both in New York City. There were some good trips in there including several outdoors outings in West Virginia, discovering Kansas City, and a nice summer visit back home to Wisconsin. Here's a recap of the year:

Visiting the CDC in Atlanta, OMGObama, snowboarding in West Virginia, dealing with being unemployed, H1N1 Swine Flu, Celtic Festival of Southern Maryland, gay gardens, Montana Sean visits, hiking in West Virginia, birdwatching in May, preparing to move, Pride Weekend, Mega Shark vs. Giant Octopus, Wisconsin visit, Donna Summer & Fire Island, beating on my block, Shenandoah weekend, I move to a nice place, Kiawah Island in South Carolina, kicktards, Kylie Minogue concert in NYC, Equality March, gays and Grindr, Las Vegas and the Valley of Fire, me as Obi-Wan Kenobi, I buy a DROID, 40th birthday plan, banned in 2010, Snopocalypse, Kansas City work trip.
