As I reflect upon 2009, I am reminded what a blessed year this has been. I have great people in my life; both in person and people I interact with on the web. I have so much to be thankful for that it is humbling and it is hard to know where to start. When I began to reflect on 2009, I really did not think that I did that much. Going through the process of distilling the year into a short video recap was a wonderful exercise in reflecting on the joys of the year. I would very much like to thank all of the people in my life for the memories, lessons, and laughs. I am a better person today for knowing you.

Finally, here is our year distilled into a 10 minute recap. Many of you make a cameo appearance and for that you get an oscar for best supporting cool person. 🙂
“Fun Boardgames, Great Poker, Tasty Beverages, Good Eats, Fantastic Travel, Incredible People… …these are a few of my favourite things.”

Hey Matt and family. Great Christmas card! Hopefully we’ll have a chance to hook in 2010. I really enjoyed the beer and music while I was in Canada (a.k.a. EPCOT) a few weeks ago.
From our family to yours – May this New Year bring you happiness and prosperity…
It looks like a great year. Wish we lived closer!
