OFIR End of 2011 Wrap-up

Every year I do a quick re-cap of what has happened here at "One Foot In Reality".

This has been one of those years where a lot has happened:

• I finally agreed to knee surgery on May 17th and looking back I wish I had done it a lot sooner.
• I started running again although rather slowly on June 15th.
• On June 17th - I left teaching to join Mary in retirement
• Over the course of the summer I was searching for a new focus for One Foot In Reality and tried several out, but none of them seemed to fit until I got back into running again. However, it got to the point where running was completely taking over what I was posting here and at that point we decided to make a new blog for running/health related posts called "A Veteran Runnah".
• The other big news is that Mary started writing blog posts and I know that she is a better story teller and writer than I am, so I have a feeling that I will bequeath "One Foot In Reality" fairly soon to her and occasionally guest post back here, while I focus on "A Veteran Runnah".

There has been a lot going on in our lives and unfortunately, this blog has suffered a bit of inattention as we have directed our focus elsewhere. As the garden season get closer I can see up doing a lot more posts related to gardening and things that we are doing around the house to simplify our lives as much as possible. So while OFIR might be in a bit of a dormant state right now, I can see it coming back to life as the snow goes.

Below are our top 10 posts for the year based on pageviews:

1. Evernote as a Task Manager
