Biggest Regret: Failing at my Marriage.

Happiest Moment: (Another tie) Holding my wife on our anniversary on the shores of Lake Superior in the cold January moonlight. (Even through it all I still love that memory). Any moment with Lily.

Best Insult: "You infintile...stupid."

Biggest Tragedy: Tsunami. 116,000 dead to date.

What I most look forward to about 2005: That it will no longer be 2004

These are just based on the experiences of my year. Some was not easy to write but I felt it was appropriate. I want to thank all who have welcomed me so warmly onto this site. You guys are too good to be true. It's amazing how when you are at the end of what you can take how something so unexpected can lift your spirits. I just hope that 2005 doesn't bulldoze my like this year has. I am optimistic about my life for the first time in 14 months.

I like that.

Thank you all from the bottom of my heart.

Sincerely.
