I’ve entered into year 27 of my life.

Let’s review year 26, shall we?

In the 26th year George has been on this earth, we have seen:

- a full year of being employed
- discovering new motivations
- discovering new Korean coffee shop/bakeries
- how weak I really am
- how unhappy I can be
- how happy I could be
- starting a dedicated reading schedule
- getting behind and quitting the dedicated reading schedule
- starting another dedicated reading schedule
- yes, bailing out on another reading schedule
- dealing with emotional loss
- dealing with physical loss
- the realization that it’s okay to be hands-off
- an enamor with Google Reader
- xkcd.com
- the death of Ringo
- the increasing popularity of Facebook in its wake
- Flickr Pro
- some really fast cars
- Yuri
- understanding how important our past is
- lots of weddings
- Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, and Dallas
- CHANGed Concepts
- the joys of playing Mario Kart for an entire Saturday afternoon
- roasting coffee
- baking bread
- building a smoker
- wonderment at how I had lived so long without cast iron pots
- how fickle my heart is
- that I have my own agenda even if I don’t want to admit to it
- friends who have moved on
- that I haven’t moved anywhere
- a happiness that I had never seen from my father before
- coming to terms that the next list 362 days from now needs to be more positive
