I took a gander through my posts from the past year. You know, it's funny how fresh some things can be, and others barely remembered.
At any rate, 2018 wasn't a terrible year. I've had better, and worse. Running my first marathon was likely the high point. So, here's a little rundown of things I kept a record of. I'm sure I missed some important events, but don't we all...
