Not to give away my age or anything, but I graduated from high school in the year 2000, and from college in 2004.  So it seems hard to believe 2010 is already in progress.  A decade has passed since high school.  Really?  A decade?  Of course, high school does seem long, long ago (and for that I am thankful) and for that matter college seems distant as well, but somehow it is still surprising to be so far into this century.  But rather than think back over the last 10 years, I’d prefer to look forward.  There are many things to look forward to in this new year and I am going to enjoy it all thoroughly.  I do have goals — not New Year’s resolutions per se, but things I hope to do, see, work on, enjoy, etc.

Here are some pictures from the recent past.  It was a great holiday season and I enjoyed many days of relaxation.  My family did a handmade Christmas which was truly wonderful.  At some point I will post some pictures of the gifts we gave and received.  And I plan to put up a short series of 2009 photo collections.
