"Majesty at my doorstep"

2008 is rapidly coming to a close. The year has been interesting, taken some unexpected turns, there's been good and bad and more. It seems like just yesterday, I was with friends playing Twister, popping balloons on high-tens with Parliament and dancing all night at Felder's New Year's Eve bash. Since then, there's been:

• 3 full seasons of Dexter (at least after Sunday's season finale) -- the year started on a two week Dexter binge
• Hit-and-run accident
• Shaking of hands with a Presidential candidate
• Sweet Sixteen March Madness basketball games
• Blood Lines of New York, game playing
• A serving of Passover for Rogers
• A PhilAndrea wedding
• A half move from Detroit to Anderson
• Trips to Chicago, Minneapolis and Boston for Berg
• A stop in to see Campbell in Boston
• A run in with Deardorff in Indiana that same week
• Vacations to Chicago and Florida
• New jobs for Rogers and Berg
• Flat tires for Rogers
• Margot, DMB, Matt Wertz, A Fine Frenzy concerts
• 4th of July fireworks in downtown Indy
• Friendships made
• Friendships rekindled
• Seasons of Prayer
• Scraping of wallpaper and painting of rooms
• 100+ listens to Viva La Vida
• Some great and some disappointing new music
• Laughter

How much more am I forgetting? Plenty, I'm sure, to be added soon. But I've also got a long day tomorrow...
