In the spirit of being grateful for what I have, not bitter over what I do not have, here, in no particular order, is my top ten for 2010, plus a bonus:
1. I got to go on a wonderful 10 day road trip to some of the most beautiful country I have ever seen.
2. My best friend’s wife just had their third child, a healthy baby boy.
3. My brothers, their children and I went on our first family vacation in longer than I can remember, a houseboat trip on Lake Shasta in Northern California.
4. I have health insurance. Ok, this isn’t an “event” but it’s still significant.
5. My company had a good year so the entire administrative staff was treated to a four day cruise.
6. My nephews decided that they will only let Uncle ControllerOne take them to get their haircut. I love traditions.
7. I’ve learned to exercise more and eat a little better.
8. I met Public Loneliness and Sneakers in Sacrament.
9. I got to see old friends, some who I hadn’t seen in 15 years or more.
Bonus:
I got to go to San Antonio and see the Riverwalk and the Alamo for the first time.
And I just became yours ;)
ReplyDeleteThe Riverwalk is an absolute blast, especially during Christmas! Wish I was a bit closer so I could join ya'll :)
ReplyDeleteController one, what does JP mean? You've got some "splaining" to do! :-)
ReplyDeleteMeeting you last year was one of my top ten events, yeah probably as high as #2 or #3, I won't deny feeling lucky to have such a great friend in my life!
hugs,Miguel
I "followed" JP's blog and became his 50th follower. He was returning the favor. I highly recommend his blog. Interesting young man. A good non-MOHO voice for some variety.
