Retrospective time!
Before we out with the old, let’s take a moment to appreciate it, shall we?
This year, I finally managed to escape my two year stint in the Pit Of Despair. That’s pretty awesome, and I must tell you all that my life is pretty awesome now that I’m not there, but that’s not all.
I had an opportunity to decide, spontaneously, to go to Disneyland for the day. Another spontaneous destination on that trip led me to seeing a Gutenberg Bible and this ridiculously tall tree:
A hundred feet? More? Really Damn Tall, that’s how tall.
On a different trip, I climbed this staircase:
86 feet up, 88 iron steps, doesn’t come close to the walls until quite close to the top.
I’m only a little wibbly about heights, but … this was a bit wibbly-making. The view was wonderful, though.
Looking back at the year in photos, it’s clear to me that I haven’t done much with my camera when I’m not on the road, and maybe, just maybe, it’s time to change that.
What all awesome stuff did you do in 2012? What skills and challenges are you taking on in 2013?

I’m so glad that I was able to at least partially facilitate your spontaneous Disneyland/Gutenberg/tree trip. :)
As for me, I lost 120 lbs, started practicing Western martial arts again (first time in eight years), and spent time with some wonderful people. I learned that happiness may be brief, but the brevity shouldn’t diminish the joy of the moment; if anything, it should enhance it.
