Happy Hannukah, all. Being Southern and celebrating Hannukah go hand in hand, let me tell you. Sucks to try to get a fried meal together and work too, but...well, let's just say that someday there are a million and a half stories in work. I'd love to let it go, but I can't without a damned good reason, and I don't mean because of the paycheck.

It's been a whirlwind. I miss this part of life. I miss all of you, too. Really. Even those of you I don't know at all, much less well.

It seems bizarre to be thinking of next year when Dec has barely begun, but that's the way life has been since Sept... Here's hoping everyone's 2004 brought some good with the bad, and some light with the dark!

ps - I disabled comments just because I don't want to feel bad that I didn't answer back, honest. I just want to let y'all know I'm still sorta here and sorta alive. Friday I have half a day to myself, and will update the Sandlot front page and try to get through the nearly three month backlog of email. God help me.
