January
Is this heaven, Kevin? No, heaven’s not this cold.

February
Super Bowl with the Obamas and us

March
It’s gonna be a bright, bright sunshiny day

April
I held you in my castle in the sky

May
Blossom in the tree you know how I feel

June
Things grow in my garden (I hope)

July
Oh, I get by with a little help from my friends

August
Inch by inch, row by row, gonna make this garden grow, all it takes is a rake and a hoe

September
Howdy neighbor, happy harvest, may your forty acres soon be fields of clover

October
I wish jack-o’-lanterns hung from the sky and the seas were made of pumpkin pie

November
From the valley of the Jolly (ho, ho, ho) Green Giant!

December
How to build a snowgirl

The best of 2009: Dear ones in my life who know me and love me for who I am. Friends at the other end of the line (or across the table), willing to pick me up when I’m down. Love without conditions. Understanding without judgment. Empathy. Support. Kindnesses big and small. Generosity. Genuine interest. Warm hearts. All this makes everything worthwhile.
