Anyway, I'm going to combine two end-of-year things I've seen on other blogs lately, and do both "a year in pictures" and "a year in the life of this here blog". That is, a photo from each month, accompanied by the first sentence of the first blog post from each month of 2008. (I'm also captioning the pictures, because I'm like that.) Ready? This should be fun. :)
