There used to be a site/project called the Mayfly Project - the idea is to sum up your past year in 20 words or less. It's a good exercise, to think about what's happened in the past 12 months, how it fits into the larger Tale that is your life as well as its impact in the smaller, more immediate sense. Meg isn't doing the project this year, which is a shame, but I thought I'd go through the exercise anyway, 'cause I need the perspective (my 2001 and 2002 entries). Here is my 2004, in a nutshell:

Didn’t move, or evolve. Bad dating experiences. Good friend experiences. Celebrated Carly’s first birthday and Lily’s birth. Things looking up.
