Out with 2008 and in with 2009

Well another year in the books, another orbit around the sun. Good year, continue to keep up with blog and I am pleased with how it has gone...it is nice to be able to go back and review 2008. I hope to improve some of the baseball posts. So the final tally:

- 31 books read (favorite, "Laika" and "The Numbers Game")
- 108 comics reviewed (favorite, "Captain America" and "Daredevil")
- Best Movie seen was "Iron Man"
- Best Comic Cover was Uncanny X-men #503
- 51 Haiku's Written

My Favorites Haiku's

Winter

Long shadows, low sun
Big piercing blue sky, drab earth
Clouds caress white peaks

Green Chile

It's spicy goodness
My burrito craves its warmth
Naked without it

Snow

White blankets the land
Refreshes, hides blemishes
Crunch beneath your feet
