Good Bye 2009, We Hardly Knew Ye

Here it is the last day of 2009. I would be remiss if I didn't recap. First we moved from St Charles, Missouri to Colorado Springs, Colorado. Even though we have settled in and been here longer than we were in Missouri I'm still not feeling as comfortable. I guess I like the humid, green environment of the midwest as opposed to the dry, arid brown of the high plains. I still really like it here though.

My favorite part of the year was in July when Mom and Dad visited. We all wore each other out on the site seeing. Dad bought a motor home this fall so we're hoping they'll make another trip out this summer.

I found out we'll be an Uncle and Aunt again. Little baby Duncan (ha, I joke Bryce) will be downloading next week. I'm excited.

As I type along one thing is apparent, way too much has happened for me to remember and write down. We've spent a great deal of time in hospitals and doctor offices this year. Fortunately there hasn't been anything serious but we spent a lot of money to determine I don't have a brain tumor. The jury is still out on what is bothering Lisa's hand. If the health care really does get worse with the government running it, we're all screwed because they aren't the shining example of efficiency now.

I started taking vitamin D and fish oil for my health. I read online that vitamin D is a good alternative to the flu vaccine and so far it seems to be working. Lisa and everyone I know has been sick, one co-worker even had the swine flu, and I've been fine. Of course having said that...

The economy is still in the toilet despite all the spin from DC. You can agree or not but I find President Obama to be a pretty ineffective leader playing golf while a terrorist tries to blow up a plane on Christmas then blaming the system and George Bush. He just now vetoed his first bill and that was just a formality that didn't mean anything. Three more years, yahoo!

Well, enough of the belly aching. As usual there's not much I can really complain about. I have a great wife, a great dog and the rest of my family is pretty damn great too.

Happy New Year!!!
