Another year bites the dust.
This has been a pretty awesome year for me on both personal and work related goals. 
Let's see, started the year playing with my bud's from East Of Burden, had the League of Rock Anniversary bash and ended up doing the winter session for the League.Joyce joined the LoR for her first time and once that was done, we reformed our old band Leona's Sister.

I reconnected with an old buddy after years putting distance between us.
The WWF-Canada had me interviewed for a article on Earth Hour and what I've been doing to help the environment. (http://wwf.ca/)
Then in the spring I was promoted at work and transferred to a location closer to home.
But who can forget the G20 mess that changed our city forever. Before I started at my new job, I had to complete a commitment to monitor our facility in the G20 zone.
The things I actually saw changed my opinion of law enforcement and not in a good way.
The summer brought new responsibilities in my new role as the Site Coordinator at the Shelter Valley Folk Festival. I managed to get the on demand hot water system working and for the first time, our hospitality folks didn't complain they were running out of hot water. (http://sheltervalley.com/)
August also brought Leona's Sister's first show. I still haven't decided if it was a good thing or not but it got us out there.
Then it was festival weekend and for some reason, the weather didn't want to make my first year on the job easy. For 3 days, we had to tie down and rebuild the festival before we could start. It was a brutal weekend but we all got through it.
Again this year I captained the Shelter Valley Folk Festival Volunteers Dragon Boat Team.
It was another stormy weekend and the races were cut short but we made out goal and supported the Northumberland United Way.
I attended the 100-Mile event in Grafton to support the local farmers and artists in the neighbourhood, attended a house concert in Port Hope and then went to Roy's house warming party in Grafton.
Leona's Sister also had a studio session and laid down Night Turns Into Darkness. You can use the widgets in the sidebar to give us a listen. (http://www.reverbnation.com/leonassister)
It's also been a tragic year with the loss of a few friends and even as late as Wednesday night with the passing of my buddy's step-mom.
Have a safe and happy new year.
Peace
