2010 In Review

After giving up the list for the first three months of the year, I realized that the push it gave me/us to live a more eventful and productive life was worth the effort to resume it. 2010 was the year that our business transitioned from being a buying agency with little risk to a design and production house with a large payroll and overhead (at least for us). And although it was a necessary step in our eyes, meeting payroll was the main reason we didn’t swim with dolphins in the Caribbean or drink tea with monkeys at a Buddhist Temple in Bhutan.  After completing 80% of the list in 2009, we managed to complete just 53% in 2010. With that said, we probably wouldn’t have done a quarter of that if there was no list, so none of us here on Beverly Glen are complaining. I suppose the highlight was getting engaged after a thirteen year courtship on a hill overlooking London.  As for a few other highlights, here are my top ten from the year in no particular order.

1. Spending Mother’s Day with My Mom
2. Seeing Marquette Play followed by a dinner with buddies.
3. Christmas Eve at Dad’s.
4. Pebble Beach with my Dad and brothers.
5. Set my watch to Big Ben
6. Trip to Nashville
7. Vegas. 5 times.
8. Premiere League FA Cup Championship at Wimbley Stadium in London.
9. Brittany’s 15th in NYC
10. World Champion San Francisco Giants
