2011 Highs and Lows

These are roughly in chronological order....


The Highs

  • The King's Speech
  • Starting my (free) subscription to The Economist. I feel smarter already
  • Packers won the Super Bowl
  • Good times at Gourmandise
  • The U2 concert (finally!)
  • Running five miles (all at once!) for the first time
  • Harry Potter finished strong
  • Getting under 160 pounds
  • Interviewing Bono
  • My baby starting kindergarten (I guess that's a high)
  • Getting my gallbladder out (it went smoothly and I don't have to worry about gallbladder attacks anymore)
  • The Tree of Life
  • The Cardinals' amazing post-season run and World Championship season
  • Discovering a very wicked, completely evil recipe for Blondies
  • The Black Keys released a new album
  • A delightful Christmas, thanks to so many supporting hands
  • Lots of good books
The Lows
  • Utter nonsense at work, including a micromanager as Co-CEO (yes, I said co-CEO). I don't recall seeing "micromanager" on a list of desirable CEO qualities in any management book. 
  • Getting two crowns from the dentist. The actual procedure wasn't horrible, but my wallet felt my pain.
  • Getting laid off.
  • Albert leaving the Cardinals.
  • Packers couldn't beat the Chiefs.
  • And plenty of other stuff I won't even remember soon.
