3313 – Number of photos kept from 2009 (so far), not counting cell phone pictures. This number includes:
1260 – Approximate number of photos including the girl taken in 2009
910 – Approximate number of photos including the boy taken in 2009
315 – Approximate number of photos including the wife taken in 2009
150 – Approximate number of photos including me taken in 2009
10 – Months since I went on Craigslist and bought myself a guitar.
lots – Number of hours I spent playing the guitar between late February and May.
not enough – Number of hours I spent playing the guitar between June and December.
5 – Age my boy turned in 2009. I’m the parent of a kid in kindergarten! I still can’t believe it, sometimes. I started blogging when he was 5 months old.
1 – Age my girl turned in 2009. And after a nice calm stretch, she’s starting to exhibit some “terrible two” behavior. Which means the “vasectomy-inducing threes” are right around the corner.
40.6 – “Official” number of pounds I lost in 2009. I don’t mean to keep blabbing about that, but I’m pretty pleased. Still some work to be done, though.
2 – Number of times I went to the movie theater in 2009. Both times, I saw “Up.”
0 – Number of times I left the state of New York in 2009. Kinda sad. I’ll see what I can do about that next year.
27 – Number of new blog posts I published in 2009 (including this one). That’s embarrassing. Jon, Cadiz, and Syar posted more than that in November alone. But at least I beat Becky.

Hey, even with your paltry 27 posts, I’m sure you beat me. I’m even too lazy to go count.
Happy New Year!

Since I’m pretty much MOSTLY not blogging these days, just pretend I’m not here and stuff.
If I had only seen one movie on the big screen in 2009, UP would have been a great choice! Love it!
Your 27 posts of 2009 are about three times more than my projected number of posts for 2010!

I’m currently developing a formula for posting more often. So far I’ve got the first ingredient: Complete Lack of Standards. CLS is what has made my blog possible. You should try it some time. I don’t spend much more than 15 minutes a day on it. Free your blog and the rest will follow.
And you saw “UP” in 3-D, right?!?

40 pounds … that is friggin impressive.
But only 27 blog posts? What are you doing instead? Hanging out in coffee shops playing guitar at Tweetups?!
January 7th, 2010
A post for every pound lost!! That’s what I say! A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND… A POST PER POUND…
Starting chants is hard… on the internet…
