- one car (I bought the vaselinemobile in May 1999)
- one house (moved in the Casa de MLD in December 1997)
- one family (including Scrapbook Senora, HelloKittyJunkie, and LegoLandOrBust)
- two businesses I wasn't expecting to start at 2000---but did and am glad I did so!
- two jobs
- two red haired classy people I met in person mid-2001. 2020 guys, Eureka or Morro Bay-I'll bring appropriate libations.
- three laptops (two belonging to job #2, all three are still operational)
- three gastroenterologists (one driving a car with the plates "CME4GI")
- four roommates (one is no longer living, the other three I consider family)
- five hours of abdominal surgery in 2009 coupled with my first overnight hospitalization since birth
- six sportbrains
- seven years of fighting the diagnosis and against the abdominal surgery
- eight rooms of doom (including the garage)
- nine years of virtual lack of alcohol. grrrrr....
- ten years of gradual greying, but physically, I'm about 30 pounds lighter and can walk seven miles in one day without soreness
- my first plane ride in January 2000---and countless plane rides since.
- too many conventions to count, where I've met a truckload of wonderful folks.
- ready for tying up pending projects, and embarking on new ones...
