Subjectively in terms of the personal, I’d say the year was better than average. Not perfect by any stretch, given the loss and stress and what have you, but pretty good when you consider all the great people that I got to spend it with.
Not sure if I’ll get more specific that that, but in general terms, a solid 6.5-7 out of ten.
Also, not sure how much more posting there’ll be this year; I’m on vacation, and am kind of enjoying the real world (and a fair bit of other virtual worlds besides the net), but I’ll probably do a “these are the posts I liked” collection before the 31st, so you have that to look forward to.
