a year down yonder

A meme from Jér . . .

Take the first line from the first post of every month for the last year and post them together as a kind of cross-section of what you were blogging about during the year. Remember to link to all the posts you are excerpting.

January: in the beginning

So it would seem that it's been quite some time since I've posted.

February: owls

My e-mail box has been inundated with the Good News today, so I feel it only right to pass that Good News along to you.

March: dominance

The Momma likes to make fun of me for reading How to Speak Dog.

April: puppy love

I just spent the last week at a gym management conference in San Francisco.

May: missing

When Absent came over to visit me last night (and bring cookies and movies), she pointed out that Gertrude has gone missing.

June: by way of announcement

Be it known that Absent is hereby prohibited from any further blogging about the weather.

July: Austenland

Jane Hayes is obsessed with Pride and Prejudice—Colin Firth's Pride and Prejudice.

August: Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows

Now that my self-imposed two-week moratorium on a review of Hallows is at an end, I can actually get in and write my thoughts on the final tome in the series.

September: Love, Stargirl

In this sequel to Stargirl, we have Stargirl's voice as she has moved from Arizona to a new city.

October: Across the Universe

I really liked this movie.

November: invisible man

So I seem to have been absent from my blog for quite some time now.

December: how to read and why

Apparently I don't use as many big words as Fobby.
