I am a little bummed. After getting hacked, I was unable to back-up and/or salvage the many blog entries I had written in 2009 and onward. Fortunately, I have most of those memories locked up on my hard drive amongst a vast amount of picture folders and secret notes. I suppose I am content with keeping those locked away and starting off the new year on a clean slate. Just in time for the end of 2011, I am back to blogging again so look forward to plenty more. With the new year, it means a fresh new start — saying good-bye to (yet not forgetting) old memories as we welcome new ones.
