Wishing you all a healthy and fearless 2010. Thank you for your support this past year; it was an interesting one.

Here are the highlowlights:
* Monroe, our 2nd child, is now ten months old, crawling, and getting into his three-year-old brother’s beeswax. Get used to it, eldest child. Here, I feel the weight of men.
* Chrome released on August 25, owing WHOLLY to the Patron Saints who made it possible with their financial support. Incredible.
* This fall, I taught Ancient World History and Ethics to high school sophomores and seniors. I wore a tie every single day. Strange year.
* The traditionally woeful New Orleans Saints football team clinched homefield advantage throughout the NFC playoffs. Beware of flying pigs.
* I did not write a single song in 2009. Not a one. Pathetic. Frustrating year.
* I read four, five books tops, the entire year, two of which were British history I reread from my college days. Ask me about the year 1066 or the fatal Charge of the Light Brigade, and I might be able to hold my end of a conversation.
* I am thankful for the beginning of a new year, and the end of this particular one. Let’s move on.

Here’s wishing you all a courageous and bright 2010. Thanks for your words and notes of encouragement along the way. Cheers and hope-
