It was the best of years. It was the worst of years.
The Good: Wonderful marriage to my beloved. Fantastic Honeymoon in Kona, Hawaii. 1 week in Portland Oregon. Fun at Dragoncon. Finished Forever West, best novel yet. Trip to Miami. Quality family time w Carlsons and Lawson/Huffman. Wrote 2-3 good short stories. Vastly improved in Naked City Readings. Julia surviving Strategic Management. Julia getting 4.0 in Fall 2013. Julia internship 2013. Job at Wells Fargo. Jeckle Island. Escaping the Library of Death. Almost at Tier 1 Reserve.
The Bad: Strategic Management. Family Drama. Crypt Keeper. Dragons on Tarmac. Violation of the Drama Directive (STTNG). Ikea Beds. Spiders in the Sugar Factory (inspiration not the actual poem.) Longest unemployment gap ever. The Library of Death. Julia being laid off twice.
The Ugly: Red Anvil Creative. Red Anvil Tagging. Tossing Grenades at Windmills Podcast. Strategic Management. Back and Forth from Charlotte. Pointless interview in Miami. Pointless interview in South Carolina. Nasty disappointment after nasty disappointment during gap. Problems that many loved ones and friends had without being able to do anythings.
