"00" Review

Okay, this is for you, Mike Peterson.

2000 My father takes ill in April and dies in August

2001 My grandson Carter Alexander Tangen is born in December

2002 Oldest son deploys with Idaho Air Guard to Oman

2003 Youngest granddaughter Christina Jane Tangen is born in January

2004 Not sure just what happened this year but I'm sure work started to suck real bad

2005 Oldest son deploys with Air Guard for 5 months in Qatar and 5 months in Germany

2006 Blood pressure is at highest levels ever for me

2007 Start taking insulin for my Type 2 Diabetes

2008 Oldest son deploys with Air Guard to Cyprus for 5 months. I retire after 24 years as 911 operator

2009 Oldest son deploys with Air Guard to Iraq. My blood pressure is down in the good range and my blood sugars are in the target ranges finally. It only took 18 months of retirement. Now if I could only lose some weight.

Even with all of this I thought the 2000's weren't all that bad. Sure there was lots to worry about and the world was a very unsafe place but you know life goes on. To quote my favorite song writer "Some of its magic and some of its tragic but I had a good life all the way" Jimmy Buffett. So that's the way it is.
