It's been pretty good, though up and down.  I think I am still learning something new every day.  As soon as I stop learning, my life will no longer be fun.  But I guess that's all up to me.

Since one year ago, a few things have happened.  I paid off all my student debt (though there wasn't all that much of it).  I bought a used car (a 2000 Civic Si).  I picked up a serious interest in modern physics and quantum mechanics, so much so that I may consider going to graduate school.  I started doing a little bit of video game development for fun.  I got a lot better at my job and did work that I am proud of.  Brian was diagnosed with Goodpasture's Syndrome in January, was on dialysis for months, and will need a kidney transplant in the future.  The 3 weeks that followed the diagnosis was the scariest time of my life.  We went on vacation to Cape May and saw dolphins.  My parents got divorced.  My father isn't really in the picture.

Not much art going on.  I have so many other things that enrich my life and make my life fun and interesting that I don't need art in the way that I used to.
