I am thinking about climbing Rainier this year, so I may want to attend some of these lectures.
Unfortunately, I did not. On a positive note, I have made a conscious effort to improve my strength and flexibility in 2010. At the beginning of the year, I had thought to make climbing Rainier one of my goals for this year. I decided about March, that it would have to be a 2011 goal - too many work commitments in 2010, that caused a serious crimp in hiking as well. Things are better now though, I actually have had 3 weekends in a row when I did not have to work.
On a side note - here is an interesting reference

We're deep into packing, it's the weekend and we're taking a "Haunting of Hill House" break. Brandi bought me a new camera bag (up on the left there), it's big enough to fit in Isobel's iPad, the camera, three lenses, the flash, spare batteries, and the battery charger. A bunch of our clothes are ready, got a ziploc full of passports, another ziploc with backup documents to go to my office just in case. I picked up a new lens at the same time. It's a 10-24 as I wanted to get a nice wide angle for some of the interior stuff we'll be going to in Taiwan. 8 more days!!!
Changing a water filter for my parents. Here I'm cleaning the rim and gasket of grit, so the seal works.
We opted for a short mokoro ride in the morning - flat-bottomed canoes that the guides pole standing up.

Christmas day/afternoon, my buddy checking if the wind is right for a ride! It wasn't strong enough, but I got a few cools shots from it. =)

Moved all the old crappy/rusty patio furniture down to the backyard to prep for the new grill and (hopefully) new patio furniture.
The back yard needs a lot of work before I want to invite people over...but most of the weeding is done, now I need to fix the drip system, move some plants around, replace cobblestone and figure out how to pay for a deck where the dead grass currently is so it is actually a functional space. After four years of staring at this site, I am ready to tackle the project.
