Yeah yeah, so I'm a little late, big deal. It's a new year yet again. I don't feel any different. It's still little ol' me here thinking crazy and self-deprecating thoughts. Fresh beginnings, clean slates? I don't think so. A little recap anyhow for my sieve-like mind.In 2006, there were many goodbyes; too many for me to list.
