2008 was an interesting year. Brad decided that we should go our separate ways. That was a shock to the system. I'd seen it as a possibility, but Stephanie thought it would never happen. Never think something can never happen. (This is why i train to be ready for the Zombie Apocalypse). But i learned that a lot of people believed in me and were ready to offer assistance.
I thought it appropriate to offer some thanks in semi-permanent, digital form as is i am wont to do. David Kruse came through with the excellent office space in which i am now located Judge Brown and Claramary offered a good deal of sage advice. My Father was there to pitch in with whatever needed done, and lit the pilot light on my water heater. Merlin once again will make sure that things run properly. Brian wired my garage so there'd be light for the T-Bird and i could get rid of the ugly orange extension cord.
If you were not mentioned here, your efforts were appreciated.
In other bad news for 2008:
B. Hussain Obama was elected. (No further explanation is required on this, but i will doubtlessly expand upon it in the coming months and years.) Pushing Dasies Season Two was a disappointment. Oh, and like the rest of you, the falling market killed my retirement account.
In better 2008 news:
I discovered Burn Notice. I was lead to this fine series after the discovery of Uncle Orson Reviews Everything. (No link this time, Google it and you will find it.) I attended my first Liberty Fund Conference. I got a passport so that i might attend my second but that will be covered in the 2009 year in review, hopefully. I read State of Fear, this should be required reading for any student subjected to Al Gore's propaganda film. On second thought it should be required reading for all secondary instructors so that they might no longer try to inculcate children with the worst scientific proclamation since the Catholic Church insisted that the Earth was the center of the universe. And i met Erin.
On balance the good outweighed the bad. I'd even say that if you took Erin out of the equation; but with her factored in, it wasn't even close. Obviously a lot more happened that was covered here, but if you've been reading this blog then you should be aware of most of it.
Later

PS
One last 2008 thought, on the last day of the year Amazon made me aware of Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog. I was five months late to the party, but it is a hell of a party. If you can't find a copy out there on the world wide web, let me know and one will be forthcoming.
