Obligatory Retrospection Post: 2008 Was a Darn Good Year

Let’s see, in 2008 I…
- traveled to Costa Rica, Turkey, Venezuela, Jamaica, and Spain.
- traveled with Aaron twice (Costa Rica & Spain) and Shannon once (Turkey).
- developed and delivered several new intercultural workshops and a plenary to fantastic audiences.
- visited all of my families this year over the Christmas holiday.
- reconnected with old friends on Facebook.
- stopped lurking so much online, actually reached out to some people, started Twittering.
- went to SIIC and IDI training.
- celebrated our 8th wedding anniversary with Aaron.
- worked on our house.
- coached Otto into being a lap cat.
- saw the Cure and REM in concert.
- started CulturallyTeaching.com, a blog project exploring culture and education around the world.
I could go on. But you get the idea. Sure, there were some really sucky things that happened in 2008. But mostly, it was a really great year.
Now, onward to 2009. Even better things are ahead.
You did have a good and and exciting year. Like you, I watched all the
events going on in Washington. I think many of us breathed a sigh of relief when Pres 43 was an ex-pres and our new Hope took the oath of office. Wheeeee! Glad you are back with your comments again. Love you.
