Great line.


I figured out how to transition to the next stage of my life. Only figured it out late in the year, but late is better than never!

My list of accomplishments is small and insignificant, just like my [rest of sentence removed for lack of space]
[Lack of space isn't exactly the problem there - someone]

Well, I made small amounts of progress in some areas. I'm playing the long game here. I, um, paid off the last repayment on my car, and now it's mine. Mine!

1. Created and built a site devoted to the first three season scores from "Batman: the Animated Series", and reached all 23 living composers. For the remaining two who passsed on, Shirley Walker and Harvey R. Cohen, I reached the sons of Walker and the widow of Cohen. I interviewed some of the composers, with more interviews at other composers conviniences, put sounds clips, reviewed nearly every score, and over all made a hell of a site.
