Reflections of 2009

As a rule I resist those sappy Christmas letters sent out to friends reliving the past year. But I will tell you that 2009 has been a thrill ride! The second half of the year sucked from a financial and business point of view. That part of the ride I could have done without! 2010 looks to be better in that regard. But I am thankful for my blessings.

* Asher (the newest of the Triple As) was born. This year I got to spend more time with the Grandsons and it was great.

* We found out that our daughter, Lindsey will be giving us our first grand-daughter!

* My son, Nate, joined the firm.

* My wife, Carol, has still not figured out that she married beneath herself.

* The people that make up the Architectural design firm of which I belong, are the greatest group ever.

* My Church is beginning to Mature.

*and I got to see world class concerts, travel to cool places, go to great events and write this blog and share with all that stumble onto this site.
