40. Quote a song lyric that sums up your year:
Many have I loved, and many times been bitten,
many times I've gazed along the open road.
Many times I've lied and many times I've listened,
many times I've wondered how much there is to know.
Many dreams come true and some have silver linings
I live for my dream and a pocketful of gold.
Mellow is the man who knows what he's been missin',
many many men can't see the open road.
