Happy 2007

In 2006 I didn't expect to:

- quit my job
- move to Alaska
- not run the NYC marathon after the Lake Placid half-marathon
- find an awesome church

In 2007, I expect to:

- not find myself working for a company that goes bankrupt
- run the Anchorage Mayor's Anchorage
- ski the 50K Tour of Anchorage
- climb a few local peaks in preparation for Denali (Mt. McKinley for those of you living in the lower 48)
- go home, at least for Christmas. Spending the holidays elsewhere kinda sucks. No apologies for the vernacular.

Sidenote: 2007 is NOT a prime. What a disappointment. I mean, it looked sort of promising.
