thanks again gw

a major milestone has passed in my blog world, the title refers back to the first real post of this blog. Technically, this was the first post, but as i noted in that post, i did it in retrospect. the first legitimate post was on GW's bday a year ago yesterday. So happy birthday to my blog, who knew it would last this long. To celebrate, i've added a counter on the side so i can now run extensive stats on who visits my blog. Big brother has started watching indeed.

i think i did a better job this year of remembering GW. I still ran, didn't shoot hoops because my basketball is deflated, and i had my tuna meal last night, so not again tonight. I did walk over to the nearby Washington Masonic temple (finally), and i spent a good hour and a half there including taking the guided tour where i learned all about GW and that secret freemason's society which includes some 15 US presidents among its alumni.

i'm also happy to report that i ran the GW Bday 10k again this year, and did it a good minute faster than last year on the same course. will add the time to my list when it gets officially posted online. there's hope yet, although i'm probably still 3 minutes slower than in 2002.

Anyways, here's to maybe another year of blogging.
