And now it's been 10 years...

Ten years ago today, I started this blog. In honor of this momentous occasion, I bring you one memorable (?) post from each calendar year.

• Things get off to a good start in 2000 as I explain why Bush will not win the presidency.
  
• Here are my posts from England the week of 9/11.
  
• Here are some pictures from our wedding in 2002.
  
  
• Here is a genealogy post, in which I reveal that my one direct ancestor who fought in the Civil War suffered not only from hemorrhoids, but also diarrhea and rheumatism.
  
• Here are some pictures from our 2004 trip to Berne, Switzerland.
  
• Here, we are preparing for my 2005 cross-country drive.
  
• In 2006, a picture of me playing go appeared in a local paper.
  
  
• In 2007, Teddy celebrated his 15th birthday.
  
• In 2008, we had a fun Thanksgiving in Australia.
  
• In 2009, we celebrated Christina's birthday with a long bike ride.
• Earlier this year, I made my radio debut as "Dr. Snowpanic."
  

Snow plow panic

I'm having trouble following the news here without Internet access, but I just read our town e-mail list. Someone was asking if the whole town was without power. Thankfully, I knew that we're not, but apparently a tree fell down on a nearby street, taking out a power line and trapping the town snow plow.
Great.
In other news, I dug out far enough to see the giant block of ice hanging from our cable TV line -- that probably explains why the Internet is out.
