This is something I started thinking about yesterday, probably spurred on by my plans to write one of those year end Christmas newsletters that you usually send to friends you're not in touch with much anymore, but in this case is specifically for my daughter, who's family has had a host of problems over the last couple of years, most of them self generated.
HT Guide has certainly had some challenges, and from private communications with members, they've had some, too- that I won't go into.
But HT Guide is still here, thanks in no small part to the efforts of Sven Ragala, for whom we owe a big load of thanks for his knowledge and efforts in updating the site and supporting the continuation of key activities.
This has been one of those years that in retrospect feels like trying to run what one thought at the outset was a 100 yard dash, but which feels like trying to run through molasses, given the various challenges, and recognizing new things as they pop over the "event horizons" that need to be done to fulfill the overall short and long term goals.
I can hardly think of anything more illustrative of that issue than Steve's effort to get the new workshop facility going in Maryland- one which fulfills a key requirement going forward, of being only 10 minutes away from his wife's grandkids!

And he's still sending me pictures and describing the still ongoing efforts, as of this week... as my former Siemens Semiconductors colleague Jeno Tihanji used to say (sadly, passed away shortly after his retirement, at an age 10 years younger than I am now), "Slow work takes time".
My own situation isn't truly analogous, but being the whiny guy I am (occasionally) I have to say I truly didn't realize how much stuff there would be to fixing up a brand new construction home... starting with the prep and epoxy coat and drywall and painting effort in the garage last April... and still not finished- most recent was a wall hanging utility assembly and installation in the laundry room for the Mrs.
So, for anyone with the time and in the mood to share, what have your challenges been this year, and/or what are you thankful for, HT and Audio related, or anything that's important in YOUR life?
And for everyone....
