Happy 2009 to all 3 of you who read my blog! For my 500th post, I'd like to report some very, very good news. Over the holidays, my long-standing quest to indulge in the fudgie goodness of Carvel's signature cake came to an end. Yes, Fudgie the Whale has returned to my life. Amid much fanfare, my aunt Terry was able to find the elusive cetacean and lo, there was great feasting. Despite not being much a fudge fan in general, Fudgie was still every bit as scrumptious as I remember him. I had to save a slice for my cousin David, who had joined me over the past few years on our futile efforts to locate Fudgie. Until we meet again Fudgie, you are indeed delicious. I was planning on writing a wrap up for the year 2008, but I realize I had forgotten most of the interesting stuff that didn't involve setting high scores in F-Zero GX or getting attacked by a marmot. I got my truck, which was pretty awesome. Wrecked my shoulder, which was considerably less awesome. Got my new mountain bike and reviewed 50 lawn mowers. Did I mention Fudgie? Beat a couple of cups in Super Mario Strikers on legend with Marc and David. Had some awesome mountain hikes with Sheila and Mystic. Adopted my new "no noses" diet. And perhaps most importantly, I found out Who Killed Rover.
And a whole bunch of other stuff. Actually, as I write this I'm gradually going through 200+ emails from work so I should get back to it. Here's to hoping 2009 (my 10 anniversary in Boulder, by the way) is every bit as Fudgie as 2008!
