My Year-End "Best Of" for 2010

2010 was a good year by virtually all measures personally. Here in no particular order is my own personal Best Of list for 2010...

• Our trip to Egypt - in particular the hot air baloon ride, pryamids and snorkeling in the Red Sea
• Our trip to the Grand Canyon - great views and hikes
• Seeing the Beatles Love show in Las Vegas - simply awesome
• Our trip to Iowa to visit my grandma and tour around small town Iowa
• Follwing the Oregon Ducks football team to its 12-0 record and a birth in the BCS National Championship game
• Celebrating Diane's birthday with a mini-trip to the San Juan Islands
• Seeing Public Image Ltd. live in Seattle at the Showbox at the Market - incredible and never thought I'd see them
• Not getting hurt (at all!) when a car rolled out of a parking garage and hit me as I was running by on the sidewalk
• Visiting friends in Portland and Hood River this December
• Enjoying our friends around Seattle for dinner, drinks, movies and outings of all kinds
• Running in two half-marathons - the Eugene Half in May and the Bellingham Half in September
• Oh...and Season 2 of Eastbound & Down. Kenny Powers is back!

Sure, there were plenty of other fun acitivities and profound events in 2010, and all of them together made the year one worth remembering. But, these are the ones from my life that shone through as the best.
