Now seeing it in writing, and skipping mundane details like multitudes of meetings, legal observing like there's no tomorrow, providing technical assistance to other folks resisting/dissenting, a trip to Arizona re: sb1070, partying, and stressful exchanges with my ex, from an event perspective, 2010 was very heavy. I guess I should feel proud that none of these events threw me off in terms of professional or movement commitments (one morning, dry-retching in the shower didn't even make me late). Or, maybe that's a problem which bears further, off-line, exploration (i.e. how most of my reflection is operational and not emotive in nature).
