I think i'll try to remember the good things. It was the year that i actually got paid to write articles about history, things i done for years on my sparetime. My own personal health is good. It was the year i found you guys. Then if you take a wider view around the world.... But as i said i'll remember the good things!! Oh, And it was the year my SK-colllection became complete (am not counting e-books then.

A few more aches and pains than I had 2013. It's as good a way to mark the passage of time as anything else. 2014 was a good reading year. I seemed to read more year than in previous years, I think all the good tips about books on this site may be the reason, so thanks to everyone on the SKMB for that. I'm still hoping to land a new career in 2015. I think seventeen years of service to king and country is about enough....but I say that every year. Not sure I could survive in the private sector anyway, lol. I did go on a job interview last month and it was the most awkward damn feeling I've had in a long time. How do you do a job interview nowadays? The last time I applied for a job was 1998...weird feeling. Hope everyone has a safe holiday season, watch our for other drivers....and watch out for RVs...you never know who/what may be at the wheel.:)

Nah, 28 years for full benefits, but since I'm on the civilian side now, intel analyst is civilian so regular 401k like everyone. I'd take a nice chunk of change with me if I left and I'd be able to roll that over to an IRA, something like that. To be honest, I think I might like to go in a totally different direction, but not sure exactly what direction that is, ya know? I wonder if Glock or Bushmaster could use an armorer..lol, that'd be a dream job...lol

This year have been good to me. If someone had come to say to me this January that you are going to find your life partner this spring and
before the year is over you two live together, I would have laughed and said yeah right. So life just changes. This summer was best, everyday
we did something fun together, we was on the sea, we went to visit his relatives and we went on festivals etc etc.....

My friend got married so was on her wedding. And I got the honor to drive their wedding car so it was special to me too. We had super fun.

What else, then there have been these sad thing through the year. Deaths and other kind of sad news in the world.

But let us remember all the good things and with that walk into 2015.

This was the year that I finally took the first step toward a life goal. I think I'll reach it in 2015.
I've also looked deeper into myself as a whole. I realized that I could be very judgmental and I've worked hard to control that.

I've also realized that I have very little in common with most people and even though I try to interact . . .I care less and less about doing so.

I respect your comments, but it makes me sad. You have so much to give and receive! You don't want to grow old alone and lonely. You must cultivate people, not a lot, but just a few who will be there to watch out for you.
