I'll probably be at work tonight when 2008 bids adieu, so I won't be able to give my lady a toast with bubbly. But there will be fireworks downtown, so I'll be up there on the roof, raising a glass of whatever drinkable liquid I can find, watching the skyrockets and remembering when.
The tradition continues.

Five years ago ...
I proposed to Deb on Dec. 7, 2003.
It seems so strange to think it was only five. It's hard to believe so much could have happened between then and now. A wedding. A honeymoon. Moving to Florida. A whole marriage. Two cancer battles. A funeral. Mourning. Practically a whole lifetime.
Had I known what lay ahead, would I have still gotten on one knee and called her up the stairs back then?
Yup. Only a hell of a lot sooner.
