The Best and the Worst of 2009

I'm really, really happy to see 2009 in the past. I'll give you the bad news first:

Shitty stuff of 2009
1. My Mom passed away (March)
2. Sister diagnosed with MS
3. Broke up with boyfriend of four years
4. Lost two good friends (probably due to too much stress, I'm only guessing)



I miss you, Mom

Highlights of 2009 (in no particular order!)
1. Bought new Harley Davidson Softail Deluxe Nostalgia.
2. Sold Condo.
3. Bought new single family home.
4. Reconnected with JT (after 25 years)
5. Pulled off Bear Fest
6. Easthampton City Arts
7. Mountain View Farm
8. Selected to exhibit at Springfield Museum of Fine Arts (not until 2011!)
