Honestly, the past year has been fantastic. I've been able to do my art in exactly the way I want and with the contribution of some amazing people who respect and understand me. I found a new personal relationship that was as unexpected as it is fulfilling. My immediate family is healthy and happy as well. Even the Arena Football League resumed playing this year; no team in Pittsburgh yet, but maybe soon...

I really can't think of anything that's been a disappointment, except for the fact that time and money are always in shorter supply than I'd like. Anybody got a winning lottery ticket they'd like to loan me?
