DFreqFINISH - New Year ResolutionsThe end is here... that is, the end of 2007. Can you believe it? Where did the time go? I accomplished quite a bit in the past year - wrote a new book, spent time with family and friends, improved my fishing skills - but it's never really enough, right? I always wish there was time to do more. Oh, well... such is life.
For the next year, I have some special projects I'm excited about that I can't talk about yet, but I hope to complete them. I'm sure I'll be writing another book. And there are just too many things to list that I'd like to achieve in 2008.
How about you? What are your wishes for the next year? Drop by the DigiFreq Forums and share your thoughts for 2008:

Thanks and Happy New Year!
