2003: I registered this blog... then waited a year to begin posting

Happy New Year

So I'm 20 minutes late.

It's busy here. I swear everyone knows what a gunshot sounds like - especially when it's really fireworks.

Happy New Year!

New Years Meme

This New Year:

1) Big Party or stay at home alone? Work 12 hours overnight, from 7pm-7am, and back to work 8 hours later.

2) Stay up to watch the ball drop? It might be on the TV at work, but I'm sure I'll be taking calls of drunk drivers and gunshots rather than watching the ball drop.

3) Will you make any resolutions? Nope. Never have, never will.

4) Is Dick Clark a good host for New Year's Eve? Sure, why not. He's like a tradition. And definitely better than Regis and Plastic Ripa or Ryan Seacrest .

5) Do you know the words to Auld Lang Syne? Does anyone? (without Googling it)

How about you?

Year in Review Meme - or not

I was considering posting my answers to this meme.
But as I reviewed the questions, I realized how boring my life would sound in the answers.

Nothing new here.
Nothing new on the horizon.
Nothing significant has changed since last year.

Now, granted, my life is not boring. With three busy kids, a crazybuzy wife, and the work I do - nope, definitely not boring.
