Another year passes - time for some cliff-jumping

As I turn the page on another year on this mortal coil, I'm sitting here thinking: Wow, where the hell did that year go!? It never ceases to amaze me that the older I get, the faster the time rolls on. Why is that?? Why, as a child, did it seem like forEVER until summer vacation/Christmas/birthdays/High School/College arrived, & now, no matter what I do, the time keeps on slippin', slippin', slippin'...? sigh So I've decided to get serious about some changes. REAL changes this time. Because, frankly, I kinda like this life. I love my family & friends, & I wanna be around to enjoy them.

So, yeah... here I go.
