Happy New Year! With so much other stuff going on, holidays and other special occasions seem to come and go without much meaning lately, but things are quieter now, so I thought I’d review 2007:

• Finished my Masters degree
• Finished my first full year leading my own team at work
• Dad went through four close calls (and God kept telling him it’s too early to go)
• Went to Barcelona (and loved it)
• Participated in and lost a beer a day contest
• Missed my 10-year high school reunion
• Read the last Harry Potter book and saw the end of an era
• Suffered through increased and more frequent pain with my headaches/migraines, cycled through more medications than I’d like to think about, switched doctors, finally got an MRI, and am entering 2008 with plans for more tests and more digging

I think that’s about it for now. Maybe I’ll add more as I continue to reflect. Either way, it’s been a long year. A couple more days of rest as I ease into 2008 and brace myself for the coming year. Here’s to a happy, hopefully better and brighter, new year.
