Part 1 

A year end review in June? I know, I am ridiculously late, but I ended 2009 with a broken left wrist, (a story in Part 4), which left me unable to type for lengthy periods of time until February. As my stamina increased, so did my workload, so by the time I had time to finish these off, Summer had arrived.

I write these summaries more for myself than anyone else, though, and for my purposes, no real deadline for completing the task exists. I did not want to skip 2009, so I have worked on this in fits and starts, and since it is done, I am posting. You may read it or ignore it.
