A reflection: <br /><br />As I was out on my daily run this AM, I had time, in my solitude, to reflect <br />on this past year. <br /><br />First of all, I would like to thank my wife and family for putting up with <br />me this past year. I can at times, be hard to get along with. <br /><br />Next, would like to thank all the men and women of the armed forces for <br />being there to give me the right to type this. <br /><br />Would also like to extend my best wishes to those on this board and the ones <br />that are abroad far from family. <br /><br />A special thanks goes out to the families of the ones that gave it all. We will never forget. <br /><br />Thanks to all the law enforcement people here on this forum and across our <br />great nation for making the highways and cities and towns as safe for me as <br />possible. <br /><br />Thanks to the members that have become my friends this past year and before, <br />some I have met in person and some that I feel like I have. Someday I will. <br /><br />Thanks to the whole iboats team, owners, mods and all for putting up with me <br />and making this site available. <br /><br />Would like to thank those members that have offered support in times of need <br /><br />The loss of my brother on 9/11 was a huge blow to me since he was my only <br />sibling and a lot of people have helped me make it through, you know who you <br />are. <br /><br />This great nation of ours and the lady we call Earth has been through some <br />trying times this past year. Lot's of sickness and death and now this tragedy in <br />Asia where so many lives have been lost and/or destroyed. Not a very good way to <br />end 2004 for sure. <br /><br />Never could understand why all this loss of life of this magnitude but I'm <br />sure there is a reason. <br /><br />Well here's hoping that 2005 will be a lot better for all and maybe Mother Earth <br />can get back on track to better lives for everyone. <br /><br />I guess I will get off my soap box now. Just want to send out the warmest thoughts <br />to all of you for a very prosperous and safe new year. <br /><br />I know a lot of you will be going out to welcome in the New Year, but just <br />want you to be safe and careful out there tonight cause we want to see you all in <br />2005. <br /><br />If you must drink, please let someone sober drive you home. It's just not <br />worth it. <br /><br />Once again, thanks to all.
<br /><br />Happy New Year to you and yours.
