SG Retro: my memories from 2007

bookshelf spectrum, revisited, originally uploaded by chotda.

It's a good time for reflection. At the end of every year, I like to take a look back and review my exciting adventures, while I prepare for the future. It seems like only yesterday I was writing my recap of 2006 (maybe because I did it in March?). The following are my personal favorite memories from 2007:

• Graduating from the Citizen Police Academy (I'm still catching up on posts--more to come)
  
• NaNoWriMo was my fourth year in a row. In previous years, I dropped out of blogging during the writing process. This November I told my story through Flickr pictures.
  
• Sibley Bike Depot moved to a new location just blocks away from my house. Now I have no excuse not to volunteer, or to ride a bike when I do.
• My job sent me on a brief Vegas vacation.
• I challenged myself to post once a day throughout October, and I did it.
• Motorcycle BRC (day one, two, three, 1/2)
• Our 2nd annual Craftstravaganza was successful.
  
• Home brewing cider was fun.
  
• Letterboxing is my new favorite outdoor hobby.
  

Lastly, I post about a lot of "stuff" over the course of the year; cool things that I covet. Most are passing fads that tickle my fancy only momentarily. Some stick around. As of today, these are still a few of my favorite things:

• Blythe
• Knockman
• SWAKtopus
• Custom-painted Consoles & Case Mods
  
• Custom Action Figures
• Vintage and Punk Rock Fishing Lures
  
• Poketo Wallets (I'm now a proud owner of the model shown; thanks Jhenn!)
