I just realized that the entire month of January is in draft form. I’ve started several entries, saved them, and never come back to them. It’s been that type of month.

To summarize, January was a month of many firsts:

• getting my nose pierced
• figuring out what Netflix was all about
• enrolling in an insanely early morning bootcamp exercise program
• purchasing an iPod (and saying a tearful goodbye to my trusty cassette tape Walkman — thank you, Jeff)
• booking a ticket to Africa, leaving in less than a week

More to come from Africa…
