P&L ending FY07
Last night I write myself a checklist for the last 10 years. Yes, there are gains and losses. Some gains are realized and losses are cut. The result... is a mess.
At home, a series of decisive victories (but Pyrrhic victories expected in the 20 years ahead)
2001 - Away from parents... far far away... (ha ha ha!)
2003 - A splendid and vivid wife
2006 - A naughty and hungry daughter
2007, June - A dark small confined space (it's actually not a space... just a cage)
2007, June - First father's day (what's the good of celebrating?)
At work, let's see...
2000 - Pickett's Charge
2003, until - Spanish Ulcer (Thank God. We survived the dark days)
2004 - Dunkirk (Goodbye, Alan)
2004, late - Exile to Elba
2005, early - Waterloo (This time I played Blucher!)
2006, until - Behold! Gustavus II! (My name at Lutzen was carved out of blood and molten iron.)
Present - Bismarck in the North Sea (yeah, she's being chased after by Ark Royal)
Financially, I've gone berserk! (~&$&!*$@&~*%#&~%!@*^%*$!)
Socially, friends are forever. (Shall we get together? No la, I got business on Sunday.)
Psychologically, the counsellor said I had made good progress.
Physically, I need a bed all day. (But the hospital ward is too dark for me...)
Blogally ...... I've lost my mind ...... would there be a more soothing checklist 10 years after?
C.M. just can't imagine if such a checklist can be written after 40 years. But anyway, he is optimistic of that. And he is wishing all of you having read this post wouldn't go berserk.
********
(One had gone berserk.)
Little Pearl said she didn't quite understand. Right, C.M. doesn't quite understand too.
He doesn't understand this "milestone". He doesn't understand how this milestone had changed him anything. But he does understand history is in effect. What he can do is to give a milestone for himself, so that... he know what he should do in the coming 40 years (hopefully there will be).
(Two more had gone berserk ... after this post)
Moon's grandmother had left us just tonight. She shall never meet that "sort of" milestone. To Moon and Mule, every day is a milestone.
