2015, in short

Inspired, as I so often find myself, by Mel Kramer — this time her “What did you make this year” post, to which I am a tiny but proud contributor.

What did I do this year? 

I wrote some things I’m proud of. [1] [2] [3] [4]

I moved in with my girlfriend, we started a blog, we started building a life. I learned a great deal about being a father.

I traveled, for work and for pleasure. I saw both coasts, and traced the path so many times from Dallas to Tulsa to see friends and family.

I pushed myself professionally, and learned to do things I couldn’t do before.

I told a story about my favorite hill.

I sold my pickup truck.

I did lots of other things, too, but these things made the cut. Mostly I’m just thinking about what I’ll do in 2016. Here’s hoping it’s a good one for all of us.
