Ahh, the end of a year. I’ve never cared much for New Year’s (and New Year’s Eve) and this year won’t be an exception, especially since we now have a fine reason to stay home and go to sleep by 10:30pm. I am hopefully looking forward to a new job sometime soon, but that’s merely coincidental with the coming New Year (since most companies go dormat over the holiday). I am, however, looking forward to a day off tomorrow.

Things to come….the 2004 World Rally Championship season kicks off in Monte Carlo in a few weeks, so I’ll be starting my annual team-by-team preview. This should be an interesting season, with two new rallies (New Mexico and Japan), a switch from tarmac to gravel for the Rally Italy, and a new, more compact service/recce system (Mille Piste) for some of the gravel events.
