And so ends 2005. I remember so clearly the sense of anticipation and wonderment I felt in the first hours of this year – in so many ways things didn’t happen as I expected them to in those magical dawn hours. Still, not everything turned out for the worst. I don’t know if I moved very far or grew very much, but seeds were planted and maps were drawn up, and for the most part I enjoyed getting here.

Let’s see what sort of adventures await us, shall we?
