Playing my banjo and singing for the first time in public (Even if it was only at a CubScout Campfire, they can be a mean audience).
Breaking my foot!
Attending the FSGW Getaway and meeting everyone!
Getting a chapter I wrote publshed in the Institute of Transportation Engineer's new textbook "Intellgent Transportation Systems Primer" (I wrote chapter 26 on ITS and the planniing process).
