Starting up again/new blog

CHICAGO, IL -- Hello to any of you who may stumble upon this...

I wanted to inform you that for numerous reasons I am ending this blog and creating a new one. First and foremost, this blog was linked to my University of Wisconsin email account, and blogger/google will not let me simply delete the account and add my gmail account to it. Instead, I need to create a new one off of my gmail account, and so that is what I'm going to do.

Second, 2009 has been an incredible year on so many levels. In the shortest of possible details, since returning to Chicago from Arizona on December 31, 2008 for the Winter Classic on January 1, 2009, I have been to, in the following order:

New York
Montreal
New York
Washington D.C. - Obama Inauguration
St. Louis
New Orleans - Mardi Gras
Memphis
Sao Paulo, Brazil
Rio de Janeiro, Brazil
London, UK
Paris, France
Washington D.C.
New York
Philadelphia
Boston
Providence
San Francisco
Las Vegas
Honolulu/Waikiki/Oahu

To say the least, I live an exciting and truly wonderful and privileged life that always has me reaching out for more. As I have returned from Hawaii this morning and begin a week of transformation, I invite you to read my new blog that will explain some of these past trips in more detail, but stay updated on the next year that I will be living in London.

Thank you for reading,
Brandon
