My 2009

"So this is Christmas
And what have you done
Another year over
And a new one just begun"

Calendrical oddities aside - apparently, the new year started on Christmas day in the Lennon household - it's a relevant quote for me.  What have I done?  It's all too easy to forget, I find. How's my 2009 been?  Pretty much the same as the four or five years before it.  This is my attempt to preserve a few impressions of the year before they slip away.
