    Most of my fondest memories can't be shared, TYVM. :-)
    
    Although the look on my kid's faces as we made our way around
    Disneyworld/Epcot/MGM was not only a fond memory of 1994, but
    one that will last my entire lifetime. Happiness is *way*
    contagious!

    Well, there was, er, no.
    
    Ah, the time when I, um, no.
    
    Oh ya! I was going to, er, um, ub, ah, no.

    
    
    The look on my children's faces when they saw their 
    x-mas present from Alan and I.  Far surpassed the
    excitement from their 'Santa' presents.  :*)
    
    Also, the knowledge that someone passed a very
    important personal test this past year.

    Maybe not so fond but....
    
    First real ski trip out west :-)
    Learning to survive and actually enjoy bump skiing :-)
    Losing potential future mate :-(
    First time to see Dad n' S-mum in FLA + week in Key West :-)/2
    Two trips to Yurp on biz. :-)/2
    Becoming resingled :-(/2	
    Divesting myself of jointly owned property (at a profit though) :-)
    Smacking new car :-( * 3  (It was new, it cost me $, insurance went up)
    Major boat trip :-)
    Erasing short term personal debt :-) * many 
    

    
    Getting to shoot a fully automatic M16 in October, was an experience
    I'll never forget. Getting to attend a real Box Bash and meeting the
    OLD legend himself. Good firearms instructor, bad with cameras :-)

    Seeing my son born on Halloween, and seeing the look on my wife's face
    when she first saw him.

    I'll concur that my trip to DW/Epcot/MGM will be a memory that will
    last a lifetime, but I wouldn't go as far as to say it was a FOND
    memory.  Picture oneself surrounded by 30,000-50,000 screaming/manic/
    running/dirty/whiney kids in the blaring sunshine...akin to Hell, if
    you ask me!

    Ya shouldn't have brought so many kids with you Buck! :-)
    
    Seriously, I can't remember enjoying a vacation more and having
    a better time, than being with my chillins at Disney. It helps
    when they're your own chillins though... :-)

    Thanks for reminding me that in less than 57 hours I'll be another
    year older, blech!
    

    My home entertainment system has taken a giant leap forward...other
    than that, same old same old.  Maybe I need a new job.

    Ending annoying litigation.
    Ending an encounter with the US gestapo.
    New car for wife.
    unexpected but timely income boost.

    Birth of my daughter, Audrey.
    
    The rest of the year was an unqualified disaster!!

    goodun raq! 

    	The night of 11/8/94 was pretty memorable.

    
    <-- hmm...too early for the annual christmas tree boink...what could it
        be? 

    
    	:^)

    My happiest moment is very private. 
    
    Reading the Abortion topic in the box makes me happy!!

    	My Son (first) was born on May 27.

    Bring on 1995, please.  1994 was:
    
    March 18th, 6PM -- My family role changes from "younger of two
    daughters" to "only surviving child".
    
    October -- The Human Resources organization, which I've
    served for roughly half of my 14 years with Mother DEC,
    turns me loose.
    
    Good bye, 1994.  Don't the let door hit ya on the way out. 

 my then 11 year old son and I drove from NH to Colorado Springs during
 the summer..a wonderful trip for both of us, except I've been homesick
 since we got back..

 Same son was baptized on 11/27/94.


 Only 1332 people asked me "hey, are you that muppet guy?"



Jim

    
    i will not miss 1994:
    
    in january, my mother passed away and i have spent the last 12 months
    dealing with my loss and settling the estate.
    
    on a positive note, i got to attend my first boxbash and meet alot of
    really great people
    
    
    

    
    
    Well Raq (some back), truth be known, I don't own a CD player.  I have
    too much vinyl at home to keep me ears happy.  Anything new I want, I
    get on tape.  Maybe one of these days I'll break down and do the CD
    number. :')

    Go ahead Mikey, try it, you'll liiiiike it :-)
    
    

    What is a "boxbash" or "Box Bash"?
    
    

dir/tit=bash

    <---- R.O. !!!!

Re .30

Please forgive Debbie for she is new to the box.  Look for her replies in
the most/least boinkables.   Boxbashes from my understanding are parties
for soapbox readers and noters, mostly or always in the Greater Maynard 
Area.  People drink alot and get sick.  How about a southern boxbash for us 
folks south of the mason-dixon line?  Y'all can crash at my place.

    I'm willing to roadtrip for a southernboxbash.
    
    Mad_Mike'll be happy to put some of us up, eh Mad_One?  I'll even bring
    my own glassware.

                    BLASPHEMY!!!!!!!!!    

    94 was the worst year in many for me; just glad I'm looking at a
    brighter 95

	It certainly has been my all time career low %^(.

    ...birth of my grandson, Zachery.

    re: Mad_Mike'll be happy to put some of us up, eh Mad_One?
    
    Yes ma'am.  I been busierna one-legged man at a arse kicking contest,
    so a bash is low on the priorities.  Besides, do a
    dir/title="southern".  not to much activity when I suggested it (2
    years ago even).
    
    re: Paul M.
    SHAME ON EWE BOY for corrupting that lil' girls mind by turning her
    onto sandbox.  Besides, why would anyone want to crash at your
    metropolitan, big haired - disco joint for?  Er, then again, if we have
    it up here in the mountains maybe folks'll get lost... like you did when 
    you came up here.  (har har)  8^P

Hey Mad,
	 Anybody would get lost trying to find you place.  I think you like
hiding up there in D'ville.  Any Bill Elliott sightings up there?  Bet it's
really cold in those mountains.  Down here in tropical Dunnywood it is 
about 30 degrees or so...People would like to come here cause we got a bar
or two and bow heads galore.  

1994 The Year in Review

It was a very strange year to say the least.  I'd rather not think about 
most of it.  Glad it's over.  Dick Sellers at the office today.  I think
I'll just hide.
