Ah, 2004 - Here’s a highlight of my year. Got drunk, worked, thought about stuff, drank more, worked more, thought less.

Seriously, it’s been another great year for me. I finally made it back to Nashville and Chattanooga to see my family and friends after 2 years (flights are freakin’ expensive from CO to TN). I love you all, but it may be another 2 years before I make it back - I hate leaving Colorado.

I gave up a position that provided 3 day weekends to take up the reins of the department. I got to cut my weekends down to 1 day, though. Things are under control and I have a normal schedule now - so life is great. But I do have some gripes with 2004.

It’s 2004 for another day and I still haven’t figured out why technology is out of control in the wrong direction. I can buy an SUV as big as my house but it won’t drive itself when I’m tired. I can buy a pill that’ll give me a boner in an hour but I can’t find one that will sober me up before I go to bed. Technology helped Alan Shepard hit a golf ball on the moon. It helped us put a remote control car on Mars. But this is the best we have on Earth. My computer can help search for aliens but all it finds is porn. Hmmm - that’s not so bad.

I kid, I kid. I obviously don’t spurn technology, but I still want my sober-pill in 2005.

I hope you all have a happy and safe New Year celebration. I’ll see you in the new year a couple of days.
