Returning to Labyrinth since 2007!

2009 — The Things that Really Matter

It’s easy (and fun!) to blather on about the media we consume each year, but ultimately, books and movies are seldom the defining elements of our lives. In roughly chronological order, here are my life highlights of 2009:

  • Seeing our first black president sworn in.
  • Settling into a new home at the top of sunny Potrero Hill.
  • Seeing Return to Labyrinth volume 3 become a New York Times listed bestseller!
  • Tying the knot with an amazing lady.
  • Swimming through limestone caves in Laos.
  • Climbing 1,300 steps to mountaintop temples in Thailand.
  • Playing matchmaker with rabbits and giving a loving home to a tragic rescue case.
  • Learning how to transmogrify new ingredients into delicious meals.
  • Watching one friend become a daddy and two others get engaged.
  • Writing the last page of Return to Labyrinth.

    Sounds a helluva lot more fun than mine, but then again I’m just a kid, haha. Sounds like that year wasn’t short on excitemet. Can we perhaps expect a longer list next year?

    A much more eventful year then mine, I admit. The only big things that happened for me was getting a new car and getting my first 4.0 in college. :)
