(no subject)

well, it's the day before my birthday-eve, and I'm in the wilds of northern alberta.

so far this year I've quit my job, got a new one, lost nearly 30 lbs, and learned a little bit of boxing. I've also made a bunch of new friends and lost touch with some others. (I also got a new computer, and a fun new nerve trick I think I might have learned from my wife.)

all told, it's been a pretty decent year. (even if I spent more of it than I might like in alberta...)
