Year Two In Review!

Here we are!
Another year older, another year more literate.

On this day last year, I vowed to get to 50 because all I want is to be just like Andy Lampl. And I'm here on this day this year to tell you all that dreams really do come true, and I am one step closer to my lofty quest of being Andy-like.

I'm signing up for another year! Who's with me?!
