Best- Getting my Z28 and modding it. Also, my 12 second pass 2 weeks ago

Worst-had to come in November. Hit a deer on the way to Atco. Then a week later, some lady stopped short in front of me and I tapped her. No damage to either car other than the deer damage that was still on the Z.

Best: spending random weekends, Halloween, Thanksgiving, and Christmas with a female friend who grew a lot closer to me, and made me realize some new things.

Worst: saying good bye to that same girl and others when i left NJ to come back here to await our flight out for deployment in 5 days.

Best: nothing stands out as a best thing, everything was pretty even
Worst: having to put our dog of 13 years down, and my 401K is losing 40% this year so I guess I won't be retiring any time soon(not that I planned on it)

Best would definitely be this trip, I don't want to leave and I can't wait to come back. I don't have a care in the world other than that i'm on dial up right now haha

I'm not sure what I would have as the worst.. 2008 has been pretty good to me.
(****ing opti)

Hope everyone has a happy new year

Best: going to london to see zep (end of 07 but close enough), finishing the deck, carlisle/GM nats

Worst: my wife's grandmother died, we almost lost my dad, watching many good folks I work with lose their jobs over the year and the dark cloud that still hovers over the place. And cancelling power tour 2009 plans.

2008 ended poorly, let's hope 2009 ends better.

Best: selling our house for a profit in a horrible market, buying a wonderful house that needed NO work whatsoever, and getting a new job without full credentials yet (though it starts in 09, but I was offerred it in Oct) in a horrible economy. And, having a new addition to the family (the kitty cat, lol)

Worst: James' 2 surgeries, the accident, and all of the recovery time from them.

2009 is looking much brighter though, that's for sure!
