Hello 2004, see ya 2003!
Happy New Year. How was your 2003? Mine was fine for the most part.
I did get to travel a bit, which was fun. I enjoyed scotland and montreal. I loved miami in Novemeber. austin was a pretty town. toronto in Febuary was a bit trying though. I went to indiana for literally 5 hours one day.
The website had a good year. We lost a few people, but gained a few in return. I finally got the dot com domain name for happyrobot, which was an amazing piece of luck. We had some great group journal topics like the 9/11 one, and five questions in November.
And we had the first happyrobot based romance bloom into a marriage proposal and then into the first happyrobot baby.
(I don't think we have ever made an official announcement about this, have we?)
Can't wait to meet you next summer, Jazzbo!
Below you will find my annual review of the robot - hope you enjoy it (it's a really long list this year).
And to all of our great robot contributors, thank you so much for playing along and making this robot website one of the "funnest" places on the interweb.
I'd hug you all if you were in the room here with me.
Oh, and once again, Pat: Take care in Iraq during 2004. I'll buy you a drink saturday night.
xoxo,

'THINGS I LIKED ON THE ROBOT, BUT IN NO ORDER AND DON'T READ TOO MUCH INTO WHY I PICKED SOME ITEMS AND NOT OTHERS, BUT YOU SEE, IT TAKES A LONG TIME TO GO THROUGH ALL THESE POSTS AND LAST NIGHT I DRANK TOO MANY CHAMPAGNE AND GIN COCKTAILS AND MY HEAD STILL HURTS SO GIVE ME A BREAK' LIST

"If we see a woman walking in the street in our village at night, we will say:'come inside our home! have something to eat! Talk with us!' We will be like sisters, with our arms around each other."

With that she laughs a deep belly laugh and goes to bring us chocolate.
