Year End Meme
What did you do in 2008 that you'd never done before?
1) Died - well not quite but pretty close.
2) Visited Carlsbad and Rozwell NM
3) Saw the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone
Did you keep your new years' resolutions, and will you make more for next year? No
How will you be spending New Year's Eve? At home on the internet
Did anyone close to you die? Not this year
What countries did you visit? Just the good ole USA.
What would you like to have in 2009 that you lacked in 2008? Sex. Well not really. How about a job?
What date from 2008 will remain etched upon your memory, and why? January 17th. I died then.
What was your biggest achievement of the year? Came back from the dead.
What was your biggest failure? Not dieing.
Did you suffer illness or injury? Oh yeah, if a bleeding hole in a ventricle counts.
What was the best thing you bought? A $100K pacemaker. Well, the insurance company bought it, but we paid the premiums.
Where did most of your money go? Medical bills and retirement savings.
What song will always remind you of 2008? Err, nothing from 2008.
What do you wish you'd done more of? Sex? Oh, wait, make that travel.
What do you wish you'd done less of? Sleeping. And pill taking.
What was your favorite TV program? Mythbusters!
Do you hate anyone now that you didn't hate this time last year? I've never hated anyone. Well, maybe when I was seven I hated Robert R. But since he died a few years ago, I don't hate him anymore. Even said a prayer for him.
What was the best book you read? Hmm. Well I did reread the Deed of Paksennarrion a couple more times.
What was your greatest musical discovery? I can't say that I've made any. At my age I've heard everything and nothing is new.
What was your favorite film of this year? Wall-E
What did you do on your birthday, and how old were you? Absolutely nothing. Around sixty.
What kept you sane? My wife.
Who did you miss? My father.
Who was the best new person you met? Out of the multitudes of people who kept me alive? Probably the osteopathic doctor in the ER who twisted me so that my pericardium ruptured, letting me live long enough to be helicoptered across town to the heart specialists. It's a shame I can't remember anything about him since my vision had shut down.
Tell us a valuable life lesson you learned in 2008 Pacemakers are dangerous. But life is good.
