went to Chuck E. Cheese's, moved into a dorm that felt like an "apartment," got a several big and medium brown bags from Bloomingdales, went to Cedars-Sinai Hospital, rode in a Chrysler Pacifica, bought pinstripe pants, rode the 5 train, went to Brooklyn... should I really keep going?

For the last 2 years, I've done this, and I'm happy to do it again. Yet, I've crammed so many memories into the last 12 months, that it's hard to say which are the ones I will remember most.
