Buh-bye 2006. It wasn’t an awful year, but it had little to recommend it, either. About the best I can say is that it could have been a whole lot worse.

2007 promises, at least, to be more celebratory within my circle of friends — Robert’s wedding in a couple weeks, Molly’s wedding in six months, and at least one new baby — Robert & Claire’s — on the way (my psychic prediction is that it’ll be a boy!).

I’ve no clue what the new year will bring me. Ideally it would be gorgeous cabana boys rubbing my feet and refilling my glass of iced tea under tropical skies while I decide how to spend my immense Powerball winnings…but I’ll be pleased enough just to ask for the continued (and reciprocated!) love and support of my wonderful friends & family.
