:: year in review...09 ::

Yeah it has almost been a year since I did a post to this blog. Can't say I have an excuse, busy I guess? Lots of stuff has happened in 365ish days... Here are a couple highlights and some lowlights of 2009.

1. Erin and I got pregnant!

2. Spark Creative went down the shiter

3. Pro Concepts went down the shiter

4. Markit Creative started up, Mark Silberman, Michelle Parenti, and Myself

5. 2009 winter goes by without any major injuries and problems

6. Sign up and get into the Single Speed World championships in Durango

7. Summer bike season starts!!!!! So Fun

8. Racing Clydesdale divisions and doing quite well against other big guys

9. Sign up for the Firecracker 50 as a team with Stuart, it's kind of a sore spot for me, Stuart doesn't finish and I do my lap anyway (25 miles, 2500 vertical feet climbing, all above 10,000 feet) I do a personal best sub 2.5 hours, I felt great. NEXT YEAR SOLO CLYDESDALE. Team of one... Me!

10. JULY 25, 2009, Andrew Bruno Beresniewicz is born, 8lbs. 4oz. BUT he has some complications, needs to go to Denver for a surgery. He is born with a Diaphramatic Hernia..... Erin and Bruno are in denver for FIVE weeks.... Everything works out with the surgery and he is doing AWESOME... It was a rough 5 weeks though, Erin came home for one weekend when my parents were visiting, she is amazing.

11. Finish the race season as the number 2 ranked Clydesdale racer in Vail, pretty stoked.

12. Single Speed world championship in Durango was AWESOME. Barry, Pam, Wiener and I drove to Durango. Slept in Artie, rode our bikes with one gear (along with 1000 others) through the toughest 24 miles I have ever ridden. I almost cried twice, drank three beers during the race, finished.... I finished, it was super fun, super hard, a GREAT experience! Thanks Barry and Pam... and wiener.

13. 2009 2010 snowboard season starts.

14. Crazy news right before the holiday, one of my best friends gets hit by a car crossing I-70!!! I still can't believe he is gone, Love you Jesse, I will miss you Buddy!

15. The last week of 2009... Its been a crazy year, actually pretty hard, but I think I grew a lot this year. I love my wife, I love my son, and I love all my family and friends, you all mean the world to me, thank you for being you!

I look forward to 2010, I hope you all have the best year ever. God Bless

]Blokt[ is at it again, and it seems like he is hitting 2009 running! Check the blog for some literature inspired work, super nice stuff man! The illustration above is of our nephew Josh, who's football team won the state championship in New Jersey. A side note to the victory, the game was played in Giants Stadium, I could just imagine how that felt! I'm proud of you Josh, you done good!

Well I am interested in seeing what 2009 will hold... Check here often, as I will try to keep you all up to speed.

:: the best in 2009 ::

Well I have to say 2008 came and went in a blink of an eye. It was great fun though. Aside from the economic crap that is going on I really look forward to 2009. Big things are coming to Erin and I. Life changing to say it lightly. But I am so blessed to have a wife like Erin and feel really excited for the coming year.

Vail is still treating us well and the winter season is proving to be pretty solid. I already (due to christmas gifts of the biking kind) am looking forward to the spring and riding my bikes. I am trying very hard not to pack on my usual winter pounds, so far so good. So when the spring does come hopefully I won't be such a slug for the first month. But a lot can happen in the remaining 4 months of winter.

Well I wish all my family and friends the BEST in 2009. Hopefully we will get to see you all VERY soon.

:: WIP it ::

I updated our portfolio site nycodesignagency recently. Please check it out and let others know. I added a Work I Progress (WIP) section to keep the site up to date a little easier. After a week or so the items will move down into there respective categories.

The above image is the NEW 2009 Beaver Creek race poster I am working on, it will be the fourth year I have done it. All in all I am happy with the design. It's pretty final, we are only waiting for final sponsor shuffling.

Well share the site with people... bye now!

NarrowStairs has been on heavy rotation in the office, car, on the bike, etc... Is that bad? I dig it.
