I spent the day going through my closet and trying to get rid of clothes that I don't wear or have "bad energy." I'm already trying to exorcise 08 out of my life (and closet).

2008 was sort of like one of my father's backpack trips to the Sierras. A lot of hauling of equipment and food up a giant mountain, only to arrive at a location infested with mosquitos. A the end of the trip, of course, we all felt like we had accomplished something, but would be hard pressed to say what that was.

I hope that 2009 is easier on everyone.

Happy New Year!

Just for today, I can say good-bye to 2008.
