Goodbye 2009 and Hello 2010!
Dear Reader,
Where did the year go? For many, this question is more than just rhetoric, it is a genuine inquisition as to where time has gone? A better question then is “Where didn’t my time go?”. Our lives are a series of consequences to questions, situations and opportunities presented to us. What we decide ultimately ripples through the rest of our lives, the year and through our relationships. I hope, dear reader, that the past year has been kind to you and that you have lived it with minimal regret spending your time where you wanted as opposed to where it was needed.
Where did the year go? Fortunately for me, I have this blog to look back on to answer that question. Much beer has been drunk, most of it good thankfully. Many festivals have been attended, some more memorable than others, all worthwhile for the new experiences they have brought us. An article was written and displayed on a national stage. Most importantly, many friendships have been made and maintained. I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again, beer may be the reason I come out but the people are why I keep coming back.
To end the year, we at BetterBeerBlog are hosting a “Bring One, Swap One” NYE party. Essentially, bring a bottle of beer to share, preferrably something interesting that you’ve never tried as well as another gift wrapped “mystery” bottle that we will unwrap under “white elephant” rules. Hopefully good bottles of beer will be brought but it wouldn’t surprise me if some mischievious soul brought a gift-wrapped sixer of Bud Light Golden Ale (I won’t even dignifiy this beer with a link). We’ll be live tweeting as the party goes on so follow me if you want in on the action.
To wrap up the year, I just want to thank all of you who came to my humble blog. I never expected this blog to have the readership it does and I can’t thank you all enough for reading, leaving your comments and your emails. I hope holidays were good to you and you received all that you wanted and more. Lastly, let’s all end not only this year but this decade on a happy and safe note. Happy and Safe New Year!
Mabuhay,
Peter (BetterBeerBlog)
