Here are some nice trips I went on.

- New Hampshire a bunch of times

Here are some things that I could have done without.

- moving to Kentucky
- Rachel going to Iraq
- US still being in Iraq to begin with
- that whole thing with the election
- getting hit by that cop car
- those 6 months or so where I wished I was dead every day
- that tsunami that somehow killed 3 times the population of the world


If I remember 2004 in the future, I'll probably remember it as the year where I traveled around a lot, either for work or for my own sanity, and possibly as the year in which our country doomed itself and the rest of the world. Only time will tell!
