Economy not so great this year but it was still a good year for me hobbywise:

1.  Most of my ATFs are still around and as good as ever.  Wonderful funny confident sexy women who know how to please a man.

2.  Meet a lot of great new providers who will be my new ATFs.  Many more on my list to see for next year.

3.  Didn't catch any STDs this year.  I take the risk of bbbj's because it feels so good.  Still I haven't caught anything in the past 20 plus years in this hobby.  I realize that I have been very fortunate and one day it will happen.  Regular testing is a must.

4.  Didn't get caught in any stings or ripoffs or get any unwelcomed emails or phone calls.  I'm actually more worried about STDs than LE.

5.  Held firm to my price range and budget.  There is a lot of temptation to go over and overindulge but I have resisted the urge and only spent what I could reasonably afford.  

6.  Despite all the current worries, DC area still has a large number of great providers.  I think the area's high income and large number of professionals attract a lot of providers to this area.  One great agency TGND disappeared but another new well run agency has taken its place and other well run agencies are still around.

I'm done for the year but I look forward to the new year.  Happy holidays to all!
