Had my engineering math final tonight. I emailed my paper for my finite element class to the prof last Sunday (10 Dec). With the possible exception of my last undergrad semester, I don't think I've ever been so glad for a semester to be over. And that's only a "possible" exception, I'm not sure.

It's been a hell of a year. The year started out with me working as an intern for the state, part time. Mrs. FT got diagnosed with breast cancer (was it REALLY only 8.5 months ago?) on the day before our 9th wedding anniversary, also the day before she started a new job. At the end of April FIL had to put his beloved Trigger look-alike down due to a brain tumor. I got hired full time for the state in May. We bought a new car in June. We found out in August that FIL's g/f has been hiding a lump and severe pain in one breast for a long time, and will probably not live to see Christmas 2007. Also in August a cousin died in an industrial accident. We went to the most awesome wedding EVAR in Vegas over labor day. I found a new job in November. We got a new HVAC installed in December.

All that stress and crap has caused a real lack of flying activity this year. Mrs. FT battles daily with hot flashes. My Rodeo has had its A/C and transmission replaced this year.

Okay, I'm sure there's more crap, but that's all I can think of off the top of my head. And, I feel like I've rambled enough. Someone else's turn now.
