AND THAT'S THE WAY IT WAS

So true to form, here I am making my New Year's post -- on Jan. 3. Ah, well ...

As mentioned a few posts ago, I'm not entirely sorry to see 2004 go. It was a bit of a holding-pattern for me: I made little progress on my writing projects, found myself coasting on a spiritual/intellectual level, didn't even make much progress physically (though I did lose something like ten pounds) and certainly not financially. But 2004 did have its moments, and highlights.

( Altogether too lengthy accounting of said 2004 moments and highlights (and lowlights), and a few, heh, resolutions for 2005 )

RIGHT UNDER THE BUZZER ...

... Before it gets too late, in just 15 minutes: Happy birthday to my mother, and a toast to the Professor. (Thanks to [Bad username or site: @ livejournal.com] for the reminder.)
