		<description><![CDATA[My first kid was born in January 2009 and he&#039;s doing great. I&#039;m enjoying every minute of being with him and my wife. I&#039;ve got a great job and mortgage interests are at a all time low, but they&#039;ll go up in 2010. Oh and my wife&#039;s pregnancy test she took last Sunday was positive (as we hoped, of course).

All and all, I&#039;ve got nothing to complain about 2009.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[I&#039;m of two minds on time.
When things are good there&#039;s never enough. When not so good there&#039;s always too much.
But throw age in the mix and that changes everything. The days seem shorter and some of the passion is missing. But then you get to remember there were worse days. And better. And you know that in the end that&#039;s all there is. Good days and bad. 
That said I don&#039;t really care about what year it is, I just want the economy to get better. And less worthless, needless war.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[The only reason I would like 2009 to end would be to get the sunshine back (he writes from Seattle).

Otherwise, (knock wood) 2009 has been a very fabulous year.  I met the woman of my dreams.

My empathy and compassion to those for whom the year has sucked.  For me, that was 2008.  THAT year was fired for gross incompetence even after a corrective action plan was put in place two thirds of the way through.]]></description>

		<description><![CDATA[2009 hasn&#039;t been too bad - no one close to me died, I&#039;m in school so I don&#039;t have to worry about a job or paying back student loans (yet), and in a few weeks I get to go home and spend time with friends and family that I haven&#039;t seen since August. So no, I&#039;ve had worse years.]]></description>
