We have come to that time of year where those of us that aren't beating ourselves senseless preparing for the annual Winter Greed and Hypocrisy Festival (AKA Xmas) start reflecting on the year that just passed. This has been a year of real highs and lows:
LOW: Gas passing $4.25/gallon this summer.
HIGH: Gas dropping to $1.60/gallon this fall.
LOW: Getting laid off after over 17 years with ADT.
HIGH: Getting hired with Comcast in December.
LOW: Being broke all summer.
HIGH: Winning tickets from a local radio station to be able to take my darling Cathy to her first ever honest-to-goodness rock concert!
BONUS HIGH: It was Carlos Santana, the seats were GREAT, and Carlos was on his A+ game!
There were other highs and lows throughout 2008, most of which I have chronicled here. On balance, there was more good than bad this year, the bad was all endurable, and 2009 looks promising. I have friends, a family that loves me, two nifty doggies and most of all the love and support of the lovely and talented Cathy! Life is pretty good.
