Welcome to the pond

Happy New Year everyone. Let's hope 2005 goes a little better than 2004.

I've started the year off right by making a donation to the American Red Cross for the disaster relief efforts. I urge you all to do the same, even if it's just a little.

The last meme of 2004 for me is the Friday Feast!!

Appetizer
Using only 5 words, describe how 2004 went for you.
Babies and car crash drama.

Soup
Name something you did in 2004 that you'll probably never do again.
Hopefully I'll never have to visit a loved one in the hospital because of a car crash again!

Salad
What did you learn about yourself in 2004?
I honestly can't think of anything at the moment!

Main Course
What notable news event from 2004 will stand out most in your memory?
So far what stands out most is the basket-brawl between Detroit and Indiana. In six months, perhaps something else will stand out more, who knows?

Dessert
Name something you purchased in 2004 that you really, really like.
The Afro Celts' "Pod" remix album.
