'09 was a complicated year here. The biggie was both parents having rather severe health problems, accompanied by crisis events. Becoming a "parent" to my parents is ironic, humbling, and difficult. But, I'm glad I'm in a position to provide good care for them.
On the positive side, I acquired a new LBC in 2009 and made a big step up in my career with a great new job.
My foremost hopes for the New Year: I hope the nation's economy continues to recover in 2010, and that we may achieve our goals in Afghanistan and Iraq and get our troops out of harm's way ASAP.
Here's to a happy and prosperous year for you all!
