Goodbye, best year ever! Best year ever? Oh yes. And I’ve had a lot of good years, so that’s saying something. I mean, come on. I went to the Bering Sea and got paid to do this:
And then I went to Germany and finally started to develop a taste for beer, which seems like an important step on the road to adulthood:
And I did lots of other cool stuff, too, like knitting and going to U2 concerts and discovering an obsession with dictionaries.
So, what excitement will 2010 bring? I know I plan to write more stories about science, spend a lot of time near home, sing a bunch, knit a sweater for my mom, and generally enjoy myself. I also reserve the right to add adventures as the opportunities present themselves. Read along with me, ok?

Ha! I do prefer the adventures that come with a stipend, but I’ll keep Chengdu in mind.
Yes, I will keep reading along with you. Thank you for all the laughs and shared moments in 2009, Helen.
