It's been nearly a month since I've been a presence in the web juggernaut. Did you miss me? (Secretly, I hope so.)

In reflection, 2003 seemed more like a decade than a year. Life never twists and turns as you think it will, (or hope it will for that matter.) I’m trying to make sense of everything, but given the deluge of all that’s transpired in the past year, it’s taking time.

In a beautiful opening to the New Year, I rang in 2004 standing knee deep in the Atlantic ocean beneath a starry, moonlit sky. It was breathtaking, really; I don’t think I’ll ever forget it.
