Each year is filled with changes, and 2008 had several big ones, including the marriage of a son, a large family vacation, several TECH events, a new filly, major home renovations and the birth of a grand child. Becoming a parent is an experience unlike any other, and becoming a grand parent is as close as one can get to the real thing. Newborns have a unique look, unique sound, and unique baby smell that brings smiles to every face.2008 was a good year, filled with surprises, and 2009 will bring even more changes and surprises. Memo to self: be sure to keep weight down so as to fit into any formal outfit at any time. Have nails manicured and hair cut and styled at all times in case of a sudden party. Use credit cards only for travel so as always ready to fly to the next adventure. Continue to make soup as it fills with few calories. Keep riding the bike, enjoying the sky, watching the horses, and smelling the coffee. Use sun screen. Spend more time in Chicago at lunch with Jessica. Visit DC at least twice during the year. Hug the baby often. Appreciate and give thanks for what I have. And smile at all life has to offer. Enjoy the ride.
