It's that time of year again for the year-in-review.

• Got my Private Pilot license with a Glider rating.
• Travelled outside North America for the first time, to Spain and to Australia.
• Met a wonderful girl named Amy, who showed me how much fun world travel can be.
• Went skydiving for the first time.
• Started to learn Spanish and Japanese, started reviewing my French, and investigated Russian, Chinese, and Basque.
• Did a valve clearance adjustment on my car which was the first substantial automotive work I've done by myself.
• Flew a 777 simulator for the first time.
• Got a good view of the lunar eclipse and took some photos which turned out pretty well.
• Got a dental filling for the first time. I've never had a cavity before this year.
