My goodness, London's firework display was something else I can tell you. Well, hello 2005 - I greet you with optimism and hope for something better for myself and for the world. Still, it should be a quiet time for reflection: the dead and dying and soon to die in Asia brings most things into context. While I am happy to look ahead many things have happened in 2004 that we should not forget.

Personally, a time of change and re-focusing. It will be a challenge but I can do it I am sure. C'mon 2005 - let's get it on.
