I would like to thank

1. What did you do in 2007 that you'd never done before?
Among the too many things to count in the realm of "new experiences":

2. Did you keep your New Year's resolutions, and will you make more for next year?
Oh hell no, but I will try again.

I did not have the chance to travel outside the country this year, but I did make it to the east coast for the first time!

6. What would you like to have in 2008 that you lacked in 2007?
Personal strength. Forasmuch as I am the rock to my friends, and I am not solid enough for myself.

7. What date from 2007 will remain etched upon your memory, and why?

Yes, many times.

11. What was the best thing you bought?

12. Whose behavior merited celebration?
The people who deserve merits in my life know how much they are loved (or I hope they do, even if we do not speak as often as I wish we did).

13. Whose behavior, what situations appalled and depressed you?
This is something that .... other people do not need to know.

14. Where did most of your money go?
Gas. Living nowhere and ever where at once.

Spend more time with friends.

19. What do you wish you'd done less of?
Fight.

That question hurts.

No. The only person I have ever hated in my life is dead.

Oh... this goes two ways.
Frank Tichelli Blue Shades  - It has a LONG time since I have played something that hard and satisfying!

My two cats. My friends.

The downfall of the economy, the mortgage market (prime/sub prime) The  agendas of some corporations and how they are able to doctor their books. Blah blah blah....

34. Whom did you miss?
I still miss my Grandfather. It has been two years.

35. Who was the best new person you met?
Thinking about "new" people that I have met, four faces stand out. two here in Seattle, one in Florida and one in Chicago. They are all at different points in my life, all have different meaning to me. There is no *best* person.
