and in the end the tortoise beat the hare . . .

so 2007 is over. it's now officially the past and yet it's still part of the story.

these william fitzsimmons lyrics keep crowding my mind lately:

Ain’t seen you in quite a while, seems i forgot
how your face looked when you smiled
the interest in you that i gave
the interest in me that you faked
have you heard that i’m coming home, much as i can
cause home has been out on the road
i’ll let you know when i’m in town, so i just might
see you when you come around
turn on the light, ready or not
i’m not what you wanted, i’m what you’ve got
open the door, roll out the mat
a welcome is welcomed, but you’ll take it back
when i come home
i wish it could be like it was, when we were young
those memories fade into dust
i’ll let you know when i’m in town, so i just might
see you when you come around

i am so thankful for the last year - it's not what i wanted but it's what i got. i am a bit excited to make it into a really amazing story.
