Did the Year of the Leprechaun seem shorter than any other year? Seriously, that’s not a height joke, but it seemed to go much quicker than previous years, even though we had an extra day.
It seems like only yesterday we were recounting the best of the Year of the Magician and, like an hour since beards became the new black.
But here we are, looking back, across the rainbow to the pots of gold we never chased after and the ones we caught with our bare hands and wrestled to the ground and then took home to invest with Bernie Madoff, only to lose it in an elaborate Ponzi scheme (which is BTW the Best Scheme of the year).
This year gave us a pregnant wife, a two nephews, a new car, training and completing the Chicago Marathon, and for all of us, a black man elected President of the United States. Overall, pretty stinking amazing.
So without further ado, I give you Greedo’s Besties of 2008 - The Year of the Leprechaun
