this is of course

shamelessly cribbed from the feltron annual report
his fault for coming up with an
awesome idea
also i am too cheap to pay for daytum

looking back on 2009
particularly in my crude graphical format
as you will see
i can't help but think i could have done better

but let's get started anyway

travel

this is most disappointing

while the map shows a lot of red
it doesn't mean that i went a lot of places

four countries [france spain russia usa]
fifteen states [many of which are airports [yeah i count that]]
i slept in fourteen cities or towns
and visited thirteen airports
[BOS CDG BCN JFK CMH ORD DME MDW LGA DTW BWI SLC JAC]
via plane car bus and train
[interestingly at no point this year was i on a boat]

this is what i get for blowing so many vacation days
so early in the year
and working basically all through the summer
again

activity

most disappointing this year was that i only bicycled
seventy-three more miles than i ran

run 176
bike 249

both numbers are pretty sad and pathetic
but can be explained by two things

soccer
as in i played 72 matches this year
[and scored zero goals]

and the pmc
as in i didn't do it last year

i did run five 5ks and a half marathon too

also i bicycled through twenty-five cities and towns
in our fair commonwealth

other stuff

i saw a paltry four concerts this year
[efterklang cut copy
moderat depeche mode]

saw sixteen movies in the theater
two of them twice

i went to four red sox games
[they were 3-1 when i attended]

also i went to eighteen soccer matches
[in foxboro chicago washington columbus barcelona and moscow]

i took two thousand eight hundred twenty six photos
and uploaded 176 to flickr

reviewed 71 places on yelp

tweeted 1604 times

and wasted two hours this morning compiling this

next year we will do better

i assure you
