Mr. Spolsky once said that a man claiming fifteen years of practical experience in some craft often has only one, just repeated fifteen times over.

This year has made me four or maybe five years older without extorting an unnecessarily onerous cost. Most of the time, I ended up cash flow positive.

In several aspects of my existence, I discovered, to my shame and dismay, how hopelessly inadequate I had been, beyond even what I had imagined, but at the same time a clear path to eventual redemption was shown me, making my hopes finally grounded in something real.

My resolution for next year is to keep the pace and finally make it to twenty one.

I also wish to take an opportunity to say thank you to every one of you, my dear friends.

А Данте, который на самом деле Габриэль наш Россетти, тоже умел когда хотел. Коллегам, у которых на Внутренней Визитке написано Consultant in Poetry, рекомендуется заценить. Кстати, на улице сегодня риальне что-то похожее на весну показывали, мне из окна видно.

By what word's power, the key of paths untrod,
Shall I the difficult deeps of Love explore,
Till parted waves of Song yield up the shore
Even as that sea which Israel crossed dryshod?
For lo! in some poor rhythmic period,
Lady, I fain would tell how evermore
Thy soul I know not from thy body, nor
Thee from myself, neither our love from God.
Yea, in God's name, and Love's, and thine, would I
Draw from one loving heart such evidence
As to all hearts all things shall signify;
Tender as dawn's first hill-fire, and intense
As instantaneous penetrating sense,
In Spring's birth-hour, of other Springs gone by.

Это вам бля не вырожденец Элиот.

IMHO чемпион среди российских первоапрельских шуток.

Последний абзац (про продажи) был, конечно, явно лишним.
