As a famous man once said, “What’s in a name?  That which we call a honey bucket by any other name would smell as sweet.”  And they also say that a picture is worth a thousand words.  So let us reflect back on 2009, both the good times and the bad, and enjoy this picture that I took this morning at Millikan Way while waiting on the MAX.

It is simply amazing how you can find little treasures where you least expect them.  2009 seemed to pass in the blink of an eye even though we suffered through the worst recession in decades.  And now I am looking forward to a vibrant 2010 but am wise enough to forgo making any resolutions.  I’ll just play it by ear.
