Perhaps a bit early for the 2013 post, but I’m feeling reflective, so… It’s been a really great year!  Just a few of the highlights:

• New job with a terrific company.
• New (old) car that I love.
• The heir got accepted to his (only) college of choice.
• The heir was named VIP of the rugby team (as a junior).
  

  No, no – it’s not New Year’s Eve yet. I’m just behind on posts and ahead on reflection. 🙂

• Repainted the house.
• Zero debt other than the mortgage.
• The consort got a new job.
• Spent a weekend on the lake outside Toronto with old friends.
• Spent a week in Vegas with my best friend.
• Completed 2 more intermediate ITIL certifications.
• Added a new dog to the herd.
• Finished the guest bathroom.
• Both the Braves and the Panthers made the playoffs!

There were some downs (though not many) – my old workplace had gotten pretty chaotic and stressful, we had a few unfortunate appliance and car meltdowns, I didn’t complete some of my 2014 goals (though others stepped up to the plate) and so on, but overall 2013 was a wonderful year!  Bring on 2014, we’re ready!
