Another Christmas and New Years Come And Gone

Well, another Christmas and New Years come and gone. Had a great year. Gabe is in grade 1, Maya in preschool and Zach is still at home. We took the past couple of weeks off to get some downtime after the year.

Had a fun time with the kids. Zach and I did a killer walk one day through fish creek for two hours in the cold and he still didn't want to come home. Had both Hiyat's family and mine over on the 23rd for dinner. Went to Mom's on Christmas eve and back for brunch the next day. Went to Jason and Sharon's for New Years as usual and for the second time in a row everybody made it to midnight.

Career wise had a killer year. Built an entirely new insourced project team that started around ~20 people and peaked at ~130. Saved the company millions and got more than 70 projects done this year, a far cry from what our outsourcer did last year at about 6 projects.

We took 3 mini vacations this year: one to Jasper with Roz and Colin, one to Whitefish with Sherrie and Dan, and one to Drumheller just with the family. Didn't have time to take a big vacation this year so the three little breaks were great.

Also got a new (to me) car - a E430 Sport Mercedes. 4 door, 275hp, and a kick ass drive.

Bruichladdich Organic

I love this Scotch. It's 5 years old. Almost transparent. Don't know how to describe it... floral, heather, the ocean. Clean, low finish, sweet nose but aggressive finish.
