More? Really?

I remember writing about how absolutely incredible 2009 was right about when the calendar turned to 1010. 2009 was certainly the best year of that decade and quite possibly the best of my life. Literally everything came together for the first time in my life - and for a sustained period.

That's a lot to live up to. By any safe assumption, 2010 couldn't be equal or better than 09' - that's like hitting the lottery twice.

But here I am finishing up the first quarter of the new year on track to exceed the highest points of 2009 by the third quarter of 2010. Better than resurrecting both my Naval and civilian careers, I've moved beyond just resurrection. I'm finally doing what I've been trying to do for at least 5, and in many cases 10, years. My daily life is literally so much of a dream, it's difficult to just manage it w/out becoming star struck at my surroundings.

Revelstoke, Tahoe, SIA and Denver, Vermont, New York State, New Jersey and then the NYC trip and hitting the ground running back here in Washington - it's just too good to be true. Then I get the o.k.

I'm going heli skiing Sunday! And the only thing I can think of is which skis I should bring.

I remember telling Admiral Tyson I just thought my trip in Thailand couldn't get any better. But then every day just got better than the last one - right through the end of the trip. That's become a trend.

I went skiing Tuesday night w/ Zach. It rained so hard we literally wore trash bags. It was hilarious hitting park jumps again - something I never thought I'd do again. Just a week later I'll be picking a line and having a pilot fly me there. This is all so much larger than life.
