Ah, the last post of 2008. See you, 2008! There were a few really good things about this year, a few really annoying things, and a few things things that mostly stayed the same. What will 2009 bring?

Happy Holidays! I hope everyone had nice meals, presents and what-not. We did.

Our snow is almost melted now, which is good as I really need to go to work Monday!

I think this is SE 32nd Ave a couple of blocks from our house
