Happy New Year

It's the first day of 2009. 2008 was an interesting year wasn't it? We elected our first black president, come to the realization that America isn't as progressive as we thought in terms of civil rights for homosexuals, witnessed the most politically polarizing and dramatic election in our history, became intimate with Alaska, watched as financial institutions crumbed, got acquainted with a human being that could out-swim fish, realize that corruption is still rampant in our political system- it was a year, folks. Rather than me doing a fairly loose recap of the year that was, check this post out from mental_floss- it's a nice retrospective.

2009 promises to be just as interesting. Here's to a year's past and another on the way.

Cheers,
Greg
