For the past ten years I've had the annual ritual of updating my blog's navigation bar with "this date in" links for the prior year. As I added '12 to the list it occurred to me, there's not much there; I did my daily posting on Facebook. Boo.
On 9/11 this year I posted my usual remembrance and on that occasion also paused to revisit everything that had happened in the past year. That was a pretty cool list to have (for me anyway). So in lieu of having personal history in my blog archive, here's that list again, updated...
2012 revisited:
Moved to Westlake Island
Started a daily view from the bridge, following bike rides
Celebrated leap day
Visited Vancouver: USCAP conference
Sailed in the Caribbean (fourteen days, seven islands)
Attended conference in San Jose: ATA conference
Began following the baby geese
Rode Breathless Agony (114 miles, 12,000 feet)
Spectated Amgen Tour of California, Mount Baldy stage
Visited Venice, Sweden, and Munich, conferences, customers, and symposia
Started something new; still cooking, stay tuned for [much] more :)
Cherished my Megan, wow
Sailed Round the Island race, yay, and...

Survived the C-15 nationals, double yay
Kept riding to the beach
Enjoyed Le Tour de France, as always
Watched the London Olympics
Cheered as Curiosity landed on Mars
Felt amazing as Aperio agreed to be acquired by Leica (okay to celebrate :)
Raced the Hoodoo 500 (517 miles, 34,000 feet), and finished!
Czeched out Prague: ECP conference
Loved the La Jolla Art and Wine Festival
Experienced my first Parker 100
Weathered Hurricane Sandy in Baltimore: Path Visions conference
Voted for Romney / Ryan, and accepted their defeat...
Escaped to the Ritz Laguna Nigel for a celebratory weekend
Celebrated Fall on the Lake
Made a pilgrimage to the Tesla toy store :)
Gave thanks for everything, not least my wonderful family <3
Wondered and shopped in Chicago, dressed for Holiday: RSNA conference, and...
Listened to a performance of Wurther, my annual brush with opera
Traveled to Dublin (!), met my new colleagues and enjoyed their city
Completed my 54th trip around the sun
Journeyed to Winnipeg, and...
Landed in Vegas (!), with the Jersey Boys
(!!)
Boarded Big Bear
Wished everyone a Merry Christmas
... and...

So what's next? Well, I'm still living on Westlake Island, and still working for Aperio. But I do have some cool new projects cooking, and I'm totally excited about 2013...
Please stay tuned and I'll keep you posted!
