This is where a lot of the magic happened this year. Writing this list each year is one of my favorite things to do at the end of the year. It forces some perspective on what I played and coheres my thoughts on the experiences this year.

Katie was out of town, so I spent most of the weekend mainlining Dead Space 3 with David and not seeing these weird soldiers because, I dunno, video games!

Oh well…I’ll get a chance to clean later this week, right? ...
I don’t know about being the most beloved, but it was very nice. Took an overnight train to Boston to catch a game in Fenway and that was pretty awesome. Check another ballpark off my list!

My mom’s dog is so cool! I miss hanging out with her. After a long, tough week in Florida and a long, busy week in MD I’m looking forward to a little downtime… Movies Iron Man 3 - A new director means a brand new feel for the movie. Stark isn’t in the suit that much and it just all feels…different, but that’s not bad! I really loved the movie. Good times. ...
