Abject Geekery

It has been a busy month this past month.  I have missed posting since… well since the Indians saved our collective butts in Copenhagen.  It has been a busy month between then and now.  Just to run down some of the highs and lows:

• My wife and baby crossed the 37 week Rubicon.
• Someone tried to force entry into my home.
• We were given a nice TV from my parents for Christmas.
• I was confirmed as a member of the LPF Executive Committee.
• We rang in the new year.
• I am a writer for the Alex Snitker campaign for US Senate.
• Still doing my Monday night show.
• The projections for my Job are looking good for the 1st quarter.
• I saw Ben Prestage in Daytona and met his wife.

As you can imagine with all of this going on, my time for geekery has diminished.  But there is one bright side:  I brought my old PC back to life, updated the drivers, bought a new big fancy monitor, and now I am playing Champions Online…  when I can find a spare moment or two between my increasing familiar and political responsibilities!

All in all 2009 was a year of tremendous growth for me.  I bought a house.  I got my PE.  I started a +1 to my family.  I stepped up my political action.  All in all a very good year.

The thing I take away from 2009 and the decade we leave behind is this: there is no substitute for action.  We must be the change we want to see in the world.

Oh.  And one more thing.  Nah.  Nevermind.

God Bless.
