Hard to believe nearly a year has gone by since I started having health problems. Nevertheless, we're ready to close the books on this year and enter 2010 with new beginnings. Though, I'm a little more humble (I think), a little more gray in the hair, we're progressing as though nothing happened. Speaking of which...I went to Wings Etc. yesterday with a few friends at lunch when the topic of age came up. Our waitress brings our drinks and asks,
"How old are you?"
"How old do you think I am?" I said.
I always get a kick out of watching people deliberate on their answer while they study my face.
She looks at me for a moment and says,"39?"
I'm going to assume my eyebrows raised up Spock-style. I didn't say anything yet, but I'm pretty sure I was half-smiling. Al is snickering to himself and Jeff is bubbling laughter into his water. She then tries to correct herself and says,
"43?"
I'm like, 
then I said,
"Well, I'm actually 34, just turned."
"Omg, I feel terrible..."
So, I think my goat-tee's days might be numbered in effort to make myself look a little younger I guess. I don't know...we'll see. 43? Really??
My wife and I will be traveling to Green Bay for Christmas. We'll be there for 5-6 days. I'm looking forward to being off work and spending some time with family.
On Sunday, my family pitched in for my birthday and Christmas and bought me a new camera. It's a Nikon D5000. I am like a little kid with this thing. It's freakin' awesome. It takes astounding pictures and video. It has a lot of bells and whistles that I haven't gotten to know yet, but so far it's been really easy to use. Here's a few shots I took just playing around with the focus...
I am by no means a photographer. But I love taking pictures. Sometimes they turn out good, and sometimes they don't. I hope to be posting more pictures on my Deviant site and on my personal site soon.
'Till then, I wish everyone a safe, Merry Christmas and a fantastic new year.
