"I go to some bar room, to drink with my friends, where the women they can't follow, to see what I spend"

Mr. GF beat me to the punch but that's ok...I'll post one anyway.

2008 has been interesting to say the least. I started the year serving the gubment and finished it serving myself. I weathered uncertainty and a slumping housing market and managed to Forrest Gump my way into a good job and a sold house...the whole situation could have been a lot worse.

Looking back at the year I would keep July and December and probably junk the rest and the reason for those two months is that I had a beach house in Clearwater in one and spent 11 wonderful days in the Tampa area the other.

Thanks for all of the help and for humoring me when I was visiting...I know that you each have to spend some family capital when I come to town and I want you all to know it's appreciated.

I'll be spending New Years with an ex-girlfriend (not the one you are thinking, the other one) but I hope you all have a fun, safe, and prosperous New Year!
