As the world rings in a new year, people often reflect on the year that was. This year was one of change. Lots of change. People generally do not like change, and I am at the top of the list. However, in so saying that, change is good. I had the opportunity to travel, meet some new people, a new career path, and a much better outlook on life in general. So – despite initial appearances – I would have to conclude that 2008 was all in all a decent year, and that I look forward to bigger and better things in 2009.

In a completely unrelated aside, a bit of trivia to ponder. Did you know that in 1983 O.J. Simpson auditioned for the role of The Terminator?  However, the role went to Arnold Schwartzenegger because the producers felt that he wouldn’t be taken seriously as a killer.
