The second half of this year just flew by. Too much to recap here, I do the daily short message thing on facebook if you really want to know the mundanities of my life.

Lots of big things happening. I'm happy, but I'm thoroughly single again, so if you know anyone that would be a good match... volunteer... or... send them my way.
