Resolutions
2009 is almost over (about 3.5 hours left as I am writing this) and a look back is perhaps, in order.
In short this year was pretty crazy.
Erin turned 4 and entered her 2nd year of Pre-school and Zoey turned 1. I got a new Subaru Impreza and the Forrester turned 1 in September.
Yet again this year the holidays were both stressful and slightly hollow however the vacation to Pigeon Forge, TN was rather fun, and it has been nice these past 2 weeks only working 2 days out of 14.

So, resolutions for 2010:
- To be at my target weight by June.
- To save more money.
- To get my SCJP Certification.
- To develop my website idea into a working site before October.
To summarize, 2009 was nuts and my main target for 2010 is a more structured/successful approach to life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness.
Bumper Stickers
The light turned yellow, just in front of him. He did the right thing, stopping at the crosswalk, even though he could have beaten the red light by accelerating through the intersection.
The tailgating woman was furious and honked her horn, screaming in frustration, as she missed her chance to get through the intersection, dropping her cell phone and makeup.
As she was still in mid-rant, she heard a tap on her window and looked up into the face of a very serious police officer. The officer ordered her to exit her car with her hands up.
He took her to the police station where she was searched, fingerprinted, photographed, and placed in a holding cell.
After a couple of hours, a policeman approached the cell and opened the door. She was escorted back to the booking desk where the arresting officer was waiting with her personal effects.
He said, ''I'm very sorry for this mistake. You see, I pulled up behind your car while you were blowing your horn, flipping off the guy in front of you and cussing a blue streak at him. I noticed the 'What Would Jesus Do' bumper sticker, the 'Choose Life' license plate holder, the 'Follow Me to Sunday-School' bumper sticker, and the chrome-plated Christian fish emblem on the trunk, so naturally....I assumed you had stolen the car.''
