Happy Festivus to our readers. I have no grievances to air, as my family and friends have not disappointed me this year.
Anyhow, it’s been another successful year at Rockland-ave.com. We did lots of stuff, and lots of outdoor stuff, highlighted by Kate bringing together Hike Club. She was way ambitious in getting people to go, and we went on a lot of great hikes and climbs.
Early in the year, Kate went to Michigan to visit her sister and her partner for a couple days. She must have made a good impression, as they moved to the town next to ours later on in 2005.
I took a class on Maya, and learned how to make a 3D model of our kitchen. Speaking of school, we went to NH to see my sister graduate from school.
Later on in year, I had a terrible experience at Dunkin Donuts. In June, Kate set the all-time Rockland-ave.com record for most-comments-in-a-post for her Hike Club posting. 21 comments, which is a lot for us.
In August we watched a speeding Ice cream truck rip down our road, and we got to go camping in New Hampshire.
Kate did some gardening this year, growing some strawberries, and some giant beans. I got to test drive two brand new cars, a Charger and a hybrid Accord. Both were fun to drive, but I still roll in the Celica.
For the curious, here are some probably useless statistics about our web traffic:
I wish I knew who all these people where who visit the site!
