[MRM]

I contributed about $1,200 to John McCain's campaign and probably $500 to various other Republican entities. I voted against Al Franken - twice. I did not pick up any new national clients. I did not score on a huge contingency fee case (or any contingency fee case, if I recall correctly). I failed to install the leather interior and Euor Premuffler I bought at great expense two years ago. I did not have my 915 rebuilt. I didn't even get my oil changed and I failed to drivre much this summer. I, however, remain a terrifically efficient device for converting oxygen into carbon dioxide, an endeavor to which I intend to devote most of my 2009, so not all is lost.
