- Barack Obama became President of the United States.1
- My wife got pregnant and gave birth to my beautiful daughter, Maya. She's truly spectacular.
- The surviving members of Led Zeppelin got on stage together for the first time in years,2 and briefly toyed around with a tour before going their separate ways again.
- Pushing Daisies got canceled by ABC.3
- 90210 and Melrose Place were somehow resurrected from the depths of Hell where they belong, and still have life on the CW.
- I STILL haven't figured out a way to back-date entries and transfer my old blogs on myspace and ebloggy over to here, for all my archives to be in the same place.
- A number of my friends have taken up the blogging mantle in my absence and are doing a far superior job than I ever did of keeping up with them and adding relevant and interesting content.4
- Barack Obama was just awarded the Nobel Peace Prize based on his first 11 days in office...Conservative pundits have been busting blood vessels in their faces ever since.
- We fired a rocket into the moon...wait...WHAT!!??
- We still don't have universal healthcare, but there is a new term that was coined out of it: DEATH PANELS!!! So scary and so utterly republican an idea.
- We have apparently suffered through and emerged from a recession.
- Amy and I sold our house, spent 5 months living with her parents because we couldn't find a house, and then bought a new place that's AWESOME.
- is still an unlucky number5
- Lost got better and had an amazing 5th season, while Heroes just got worse, and now can't even get me to watch by having Claire have a lesbian encounter with her college roommate6
Ok, so for the first real entry back after my hiatus, I have a few people to thank.
First, Gabe is responsible for me remembering that I have a blog after asking us all if we have blogs to share.
Secondly, I have to thank Nate for not only reminding me that blogs can be fun, and interesting, but also for not being mad at me(I hope) for using his footnote technique. I promise I won't use it much after this entry. I just needed to make this list more terse, with the additional info for anyone who wanted it.
Third, I'd like to thank my wife, Amy, for putting up with me being ridiculous, stir crazy, and frustrating ALL the time!
And finally, I would like to thank the wonderful people over at Cumberland farms for keeping me stocked with Red Bull and your Cumby's Hole In One snack Mix. I couldn't have made it through the last several months without you.
And now I will leave you with the footnotes before this turns into an Oscar acceptance speech...

I probably should have commented when I first read this, but I like to let things sink in for at least three and a half weeks before I respond. Anyway, I'm proud to be half of the impetus behind your getting back into bloggin', and am not at all mad about you borrowing my footnote technique. Of course, they say imitation is the sincerest form of flattery, and that flattery will get you nowhere, so if you put the two together it's quite obvious that you'll get flattitation. I have no idea what that means.
