2009 Retrospective
I was recently asked to list some of my recent adventures. Forming this list made me realize how great a year 2009 has been for me. As my health has improved, my life has accelerated. I do more in less time. I live more densely. Two years ago, I couldn't have done many these things. I wasn't physically or mentally capable. Most of my college friends wouldn't recognize me now. Alice tells me it's The Saturn Return.
I travelled.
I embraced my inner hippie.
I travelled.
- Drank a two-foot margarita in Las Vegas.
- Drove a lover to Portland by UHaul, and said goodbye.

- Ate at a pig roast in Upstate New York. Attended my 10-year high school reunion.

I embraced my inner hippie.
- Hot-tubbed with middle-aged hippies at two nudist retreats.
- Spent a night at a commune in Santa Cruz.
- Partied at an intentional community in Sunnyvale.
- Slept on a cot at the "spirit house" on a mountain in Woodacre. Snuggled by the fire in a yurt.
- Slept in my car at Clear Lake.
- Bought most of my clothes from thrift-stores.
- Got promoted.
- Had Dinner at Ad Hoc, Millenium, the Melting Pot, and La Fondue.
- Had backstage passes to Wicked at the Orpheum. Touched the props.

- Drank sparkling wine with trail mix.
- Drank good wine in plastic cups.
- Drank Charles Shaw in glass stemware.

- 24,000 miles.
- Upgraded tires and brakes.
- Did horribly at my first autocross at the Marina airport.

- Got kicked off the Santa Cruz Boardwalk.
- Got kicked out of a parking lot for doing donuts.
- Repaired the most important friendship in my life.
- Drove a lover to Portland by UHaul, and said goodbye.
- Lost myself in new love for 6 months. Forgot the world. Broke up without tears.
- Lost myself in new love for 6 weeks. Broke my heart. Full-bodied weeping.

Wicked
Backstage passes to Wicked at the Orpheum. The show was great, and the behind-the-scenes magic was astounding.

Insalata Caprese
One of my favorites. And with my new metabolism, this is a meal. This one was from Il Fornaio in San Jose.
