It's been /quite/ some time since I posted my first ever blog entry. I feel I should say something publicly at least once a year, to keep a certain perspective about life, and keep me moving forward.

So, I'll say this: I feel great! Yes, it's shamelessly stolen from Pat Croce, but it's true.

2006 sucked.
That's the long story short.

Highs, in order: Lake Tahoe, Joshua Tree National Park, Rocky Point Mexico, Lake Bartlett Arizona, my 30th birthday party, Newport, Oregon, my annual Halloween bash, and going snowboarding in Vail with my buddy Vince.

Lows, in order: getting diagnosed with testicular cancer, losing Mr. Lefty, finding out it metastasized, undergoing three rounds of BEP chemotherapy, losing my girlfriend, and finally, losing my amazingly healthy, 54-year-old father after he dies, quite unexpectedly, of a heart attack.
