This is a year I'll probably never forget. I lost my grandmother (practically my mother) earlier this year. Even though I thought I was prepared for it spiritually and emotionally it was still tough saying goodbye. The holiday's and her birthday in a week brought back and will likely bring back some of those emotions. Despite the loss I have so much to be thankful for. I am definitely grateful for all the highs that 2013 brought me. I had a lot of personal and spiritual growth and expect 2014 to be even better.

Yeah, 2013 was a crazy year. Turned 30, had twins, saw the Hawks win the cup again, bought a van, lost 40lbs, gained 15 back after having said twins....

I predict a vasectomy in my future for 2014. 8)

Spent the first 10 months of 2013 dealing with medical issues.

2013 can go suck a fat one. Rot in hell.

We can do it on the cheap at Lakemoor Fest ... I'm sure DS has a tarp and a weed whacker that we can use.

FRANKIE: Oh, there's a spot. Just back up.

(Large-vehicle reverse beeping starts)


JERRY: Hold on. There must be a truck backing up.

FRANKIE: No, that's us.

JERRY: Great. You know, Frankie, I was wondering. What if I decided that it's silly to drive a van, because, you know, I live in New York City. Is there maybe some way I could exchange it?

FRANKIE: You don't like the van?

JERRY: No, no, no. Just hypothetically.

FRANKIE: I gotta go to the park.

JERRY: No! No, you don't! No woods. I love the van. I'm a van guy.




2013 was pretty good to me. Bought a house, got married, posted here about 8000 times, golfed a lot. Not too shabby, 2013. Not too shabby at all.

And on the last day of the year, as we are driving back East, my wife gets a speeding ticket from a Hoosier Indiana State cop. I may beat her more than usual tonight.

Fuckin pigs.

Go for it. You are sore for three days, and then you can rawdog it worry free, for the rest of your life.

I think that is the only area in Northern Indiana that I ever see state cops pull over non-semi truck vehicles.

First year where I finished with the same girl that I started with, so I'll take that. That being said, looking forward to 2014.

I have never been so ready for something as insignificant as the changing of a calendar year.

Horrid F-ing year.

A Cub like year.

Reenlisted, saw the Blackhawks win the Cup and celebrate over the phone with my dad, got divorced, got a new girl...a bittersweet year

Fathered my first manchild, which happily made my daughter a big sis, watched said gal ride her first two-wheeler, lost my Godfather (a man who lived life a thousand times more intensely than almost anyone I know), made a lot of money, coached the best damn 5-year old girls softball team in the Chicago Area, watched my daughter completely excel in all aspects of kindergarten life, got in a huge fight with my sister that split the family apart, had a lot of fun doing a lot of awesome family stuff, roasted my first pig, played almost no xbox, and never once had sports be such a small part of my life (only watched half of a Sox Game, a bunch of Hawks streak and playoff/finals games, and Bears games [never got to watch a Bulls Game this year]), but couldn't be happier. . .

. . . all in all a pretty darn good year over all.

You forgot your crusade against the "Others".
