I reflect on this year and it was good. I am having some anxiety for this coming year knowing things I take for granted now will irrevocably alter by this time (hell by the middle of) next year. The world as I know it will be boxed up and stored away in a garage (metaphorically as well) and places of shelter will change but they won't be our places.. my places. The hardest change will probably be for Pete. I hope his little walnut sized noggen will accept it and he will adjust.

Now time to go drown out the anxiety in some Torchlight.

Clarification - this is not to say I do not understand the reasons and the methods... I do. I just don't have to like it rocking my boat.
