I never make New Year's resolutions anymore. I have personal goals for myself all the time. Some of these goals, I meet and some I fail. I just don't want everyone to know about either. Plus, I don't want to beat myself up if I fail publicly or in private.
I spent New Year's Eve with my friends Dave and Emily. We had some good food at Jim's house in Smithsburg and then returned to Emily's house to play some Wii and watch the ball drop. We played Jeopardy. We each won one game.
On Friday the 6th, Emily and I went to the 9:30 Club in Washington, D.C. to watch a live recording of the podcast of The Nerdist. I LOVED THE WHOLE EXPERIENCE. I've enjoyed listening to this podcast for a while now, but seeing them live in person was phenomenal. We drove down to the Shady Grove Metro Station, got a parking spot right by the station entrance, then enjoyed a nice dinner at Zorba's in Dupont Circle. The doors opened at the club at 8, but we arrived there at 7:20. We got front row seats (stage right) even though we weren't at the very front of the line. I was so happy and excited. Each of the guys did a bit of standup before the podcast started. I'm looking forward to re-listening to the podcast when it comes out. I hope to go to one of their shows again in the future. Emily took some pictures on her phone that I hope to get from her to post here.
Here are the pictures from Antietam in November. My friend Lonna told me yesterday that I can go drive around there for free all the time. I didn't know that. I might go back some more for some more pictures sometime soon. I do like things better with foliages, but maybe when it snows, I'll go back.
