Ahhh, the AOA blog. You, too, topped my 2008 topper list, you top-notch folk.
If it were in the cards, I'd rush back just to be part of the Capitol Region action once again, and to instigate the rowdie readers into heated commentary.
2009 started off great, guys. You're full of quirk and enough street cred to garner the limited attention of a lower east coast crowd.
Now if only you'd do some serious behind-the-scenes of the ragged highways and choppy pavement. Driving up there requires my auto shop to be on speed dial.
