2008 was an interesting year..... we had our up's and we certainly had our down's too.

We lost some great iboats brother's and I wish they continue their guidance from above to all of us.

Life should NOT be a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in an attractive and well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, martini in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming "WOO HOO what a ride!"


We had our share of changes in economy, lifestyles, and even picked up a few new buzz words. We have witnessed history and all had our shares of up's and down's. May the up's win out!;)

Now that 2009 is upon us.......

For the brother's and sister's we lost ....... a moment of personal silence.:(

For those who won millions in the lottery and received all of the emails saying access to millions in un-claimed funds in other countries.... SHARE!! :p

For my 2009..... I will continue to give when possible, lend a hand when available and help my family and friends grow and prosper.

I sincerely wish everyone and their families a great 2009. :) Be Safe!

All the best to you guys from your northern cousins!
Hopefully 2009 will be a better year and hopefully will get some positive momentum with a better finish than 2008.
As for us, we are going to be staying pretty low key and calling it an early night. I'll celebrate in the morning with a clear head, good breakfast and an early start to a new day.
(Oh...don't forget to watch that U.S vs. Canada world junior game later today (7pm est/4pm out west).....going to be good)
All the Very Best!!
BP:)

Here's a toast to the future,
A toast to the past,
And a toast to my friends,
far and near.
May the future be pleasant;
The past a bright dream;
May my friends live their lives without fear.

Stir the eggnog, lift the toddy, Happy New Year, everybody! :)
