While reflecting on the year, Chris initially thought he didn't get anything accomplished to warrant any mention. His desire to go back to school hadn't yet panned out and he felt in a rut at work. But he did achieve a few things ... He got into backpacking with the Boy Scouts and loved every minute of it; kite flying harbored a lot of attention and fun; his interest in computers has gone beyond obsession (he is indeed the computer nerd, as exhibited here on these web pages). He has shown an interest in a variety of sports and plans to try his hand at Kite Boarding and Kayaking in the new year. He is in the process of remodeling some of his home and still has grandiose plans for himself and his family. Let's hope he can focus on achieving those desires.
