January: Despite all the stress and hassle that was 2004, a number of things happened in the last couple of days which push it firmly onto the "good year" side of the scale for me: I reconciled with John, I had a wonderfully relaxing trip home and got lots of good code written, and MacGyver is finally coming out on DVD.
February: You know you work too much when you have to schedule sex a day in advance.
March: /me dances the dance of being curled up on the couch waiting for the new iPod Shuffle to arrive instead of being at work.
April: My least exciting business trip of the year so far brings me to Des Moines.

July: Actually, I've been back since the 7th, but I've been travelling with my folks (who, somewhat to my surprise, actually showed up for my commissioning; Dad and![[livejournal.com profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/external/lj-userinfo.gif)

November: Finally caught back up with $bay_area_security_firm dude today, and played phone/email tag whilst en route home from Toronto; net result, they're flying me out to San Jose for an on-site on the 21st.
