- drove to the sequoias but never got to see them.
- bought a new camera.
- spent a week in the biggest LA rainstorm ever.
- made many new protege friends.
- had a positive net worth for the first time in months.
- began volunteering at a food distribution center.
- enjoyed celebrating the new year with him.
- decided i’m going to collect antique colored bottles.
- found security in losing control.
- rebranded for Rebuild Sudan (old website)
- bikram ‘hot’ yoga… 110 degrees with stinky sweaty bodies.
- hiked mt. diablo on new years day.
- ended one season with mosaic and started another.
- ‘secured’ 25k in green building work.
- watched avatar… twice.
- started the first of 12 months of qualitative research.
