2007 was quite a memorable year for me, for both good and bad reasons...

Among the bad reasons: Losing my 'toll collector' job during the Summer (which was just as well - since, a few years later, most of the south Florida toll booths were torn down, to be replaced with SunPass® the electronic toll-collecting system); Looking for work in fields I have held in the past (including 'mechanical artist', 'clerical worker', and 'supermarket associate'), and coming up with bupkiss; Finally getting hired (on Halloween) as a 'janitor' in a senior citizens condo community in Pompano Beach (the worst and lowest-paying gig I ever had in my life)...

But one of the good reasons (and, possibly, the best reason of all) was joining "Fur Affinity" on December 22nd - where I not only got to display my talent in drawing anthropomorphic art (which was previously limited to sites like "InflatioNation", "The Round House", etc.), but finally made friends with a multitude of talented artists and writers (some from the 'funny animal' APAzine "Rowrbrazzle" and similar publications; and others from the aforementioned sites that I was a member of)...

Since then, I'd made more 'friends' - E-mailing via the "FA" inbox and/or 'shouts', as well as corresponding with some of them through "Facebook". And the submissions in my 'Rob Cat' site have expanded to include 'fat furry' art and stories, 'photo-ops' (of me with celebrities and wildlife snapshots), and interesting 'journals' of a variety of topics.

And although I'd reach my Tenth Anniversary last month, without much fanfare, I'm still proud of (most) everything I'd accomplished in "FA". Here's hoping that, ten years from now, I'll have even more 'friends', plenty of new submissions, and lots more accomplishments I can boast about!
