Jessica, there were so many videos to choose from, but I felt the ABBA bear pondering really summed up your awesomeness.
Thanks, Dana, there will be many more! Still love that chicken dance, it really holds up as a moment :)
Laura, you will adore Pilar and the empanadas of Half Moon. And Jess and Jenne. Can’t wait until you visit! Food adventures galore–
John, what can I say? Wait, I know, I’ll be in your neighorhood in February. Looking forward to catching up.
Jeannine, I am so happy we had our Sonoma adventure this year and I know we’ll have many more (starting in Austin) :) this year–
All of you rock stars spoil kthread and me so…

Chakakwan, I like that the comment appears twice since that nets a total of three comments from you :) Can you come into NY Feb. 11th? I’ll be in touch with details—
Andrew, I will do my level best to make more montages this year. I had entirely too much fun making it; it does require more opportunities to see you and Ms. Schutte, though, let’s work on that—
Kass, thank you, very excited for your visit, where we will have more adventures.
Jenne, I know we have so many more things to chronicle together ahead; I am very lucky to have you as a friend.
Nina, miss you back. I must see you by April, that’s our deadline. Friends are the stuff that matters, and you inspire me! Look forward to catching up–
Rachael, with all of these incredible people, it couldn’t be anything but. Thank you and excited to watch your video and blog work too :)

In 2009 I need to stop dancing like a bear. Beautiful video and definitely digging the verb bar.
January 23rd, 2009 at 2:59 pm
Stewart, it’s even more fun when we’re in the same place. Hope to see you very soon–
David, thank you. I’m trying to figure out how to include even more verbs in the menu :) here’s to dancing toward 2009 resolutions—
