Well, really and truly, one of the highlights of my 2006 was your coming home from the hospital, Lynn, and I mean that most sincerely. Try to stay away from there, would ya?

The Dark Lord's bar mitzvah, obviously, was huge.

So was the first adult getaway weekend since becoming parents in 1993.

A couple of great family friendly concerts (Amadou & Mariam at the zoo, Fishtank at the Red & Black)

Working through a misunderstanding and having a dear friend back in my life

Getting a diagnosis and beginning treatment for Graves' Disease

Beginning regular early morning walks

Attending the second marriages of two dear friends who split a few years ago and have both settled in with new life partners

Hanging with all the yarn-lovin' girlfriends!
