two thousand eight:

kicking this from my head because i'm at work and don't have a lot of the visuals to remind me. also, not all of these are necessarily from 2008.

highlights:
racing cyclocross
recording our cd and touring europe
(mostly) getting over laura
breaking a long-standing (i.e. over half of my waking life) addiction
my 3 different jobs in 3 different cities
vegas
two weddings: irene's and my college roommate's
living and cooking in my own apartment
riding to work with the SF 2 Google crew

lowlights:
getting screwed by jabbawockeez when we went to see them live
touring europe
epic triathlon fail
spraining my hand in cyclocross
