So time to say goodbye to 2014. Here's a cascade of vignettes recalling events of the year:
-Sweating profusely while hauling a sleigh across gnarly planks under hot lights and under a veil of fake snow.
-Furiously prying staples out of a box spring with a team of four in an attempt to break it down to make it up our third floor apartment
-Profusely thanking a gentleman who found my lost phone on a SKI SLOPE
-Wrangling balls around a sky painted box while wearing a monkey mask
-The Spring of Reception Gigs:
"NAI Hunneman, this is Michael."
"Good Morning, Lyons Group."
"Thank you for calling Greenbaum, Nagel, Fisher and Paliotti. How can I help you?"
-Feebly crying for help while clutching my seizing calf at the top of a stairwell
-Wrenching the handle off a fridge door
-Sharing a whiskey with two four star generals
-Helping my grandfather shave in his hospital bed, him running the electric razor ritualistically across his upper lip
-Hurling a cart laden with cat auction items down a sloping walkway
-Eating cold lunch on a cold pier, watching the reenactors yell and throw tea into the bay, only to haul them up to do it again in 10 minutes
-Openly weeping in the rain in an alley just outside the Prudential Center
-Binging the entirety of House of Cards in two days over steaks, fennel potatoes and cheesecake on Valentine's Day
-Drunkenly arguing with vehemence with my father about something neither of us remember
-Staring down Emily in exhaustion and frustration from opposite ends of a couch halfway down a flight of stairs
-Founding the Couch Coalition and the Dong Alliance during Game Nights
-Attempting to prepare and consume the awful offals, liver and heart
Not to mention the update for what I've done since my birthday on the Work-out/Fasting Project (6/25):

Haiku of the Day:
Remembrance thickens
the further out I wade down
familiar paths
