2004 will go down as the WORSE year in our lives for Toni and I. I will not go into too many details, but it literally started around 1030PM Dec 31, 2003 and kept going to late September. So far it has gotten better but after 10 months or so of pure hell we are not holding our breath.

The few things I will mention of what I will remember 2004 for:

Losing my cat of 17 + years

We finally left Indiana for good.

Being in 3 hurricanes in 5 weeks

Deaths in the family and too many other family issues to mention

Toni getting “fired” after 9+ years of volunteer service to a battered woman’s shelter (where the entire staff absolutely loved her) by the chairman of the board (who never once met her or the staff) when he found out she was in porn.

Purdue football going from 4th in the nation to a 4 game losing streak.

Indiana Pacers getting dismantled.

Bo Sox… who da thunk it? Ever?

GWB… I need to say no more.

More US Deaths over “WMD’s”

Getting to know more people in this business that I have respected for a long time, getting to know some people I have known for a while better and now being able to call some of them friends.

Knowing that 2004 is almost over makes me pleased, I have some things to look forward to in 2005, one of which is to “work” with some people I respect and admire.

Goodbye 2004…. You will not be missed….ever.
