2007 - highlights

Ok, so this has once again been the year for major decisions.

Joe's take on this:  the day your decision-making is limited to what to have for dinner, is the day you are retired.
So basically, I must get used to it...I will be making major decisions until I am 45 (the age I intend to retire on)   :-)
