Year of the Rooster

As 2005 commences I've decided on the following resolutions.

1. Marry the girl of my dreams.
2. Continue to drop mad knowledge on my Spacetropic readership.
3. Keep up the exercise, and visits to the gym.
4. Be a supportive Homework Dad to my daughter every day.
5. Participate more actively in the best Catholic parish in town.
   

I'm doing well so far, especially on the first item. Last night I asked Rachel to marry me, gave her a ring, and she said yes.

This weblog has never been about excessive reflections and journalizing about the author's interior life. But this qualifies as a momentous occasion. We waited a long time. We really love each other, and share humor and a sense of perspective towards everything important. I am absolutely sure there is no better person with whom I would like to adventure through the days I have on this planet. In this new year, and from now on, I resolve to be the best man I can be for her.

Now back to your regularly scheduled programming.
