2006 wrap up

I've become shamefully neglectuful of this little journal. I've thought over and over about 2006 in passing. It was one of the most memorable years I've known. It's no excuse, of course, but it was also one of the most maddening, demanding, and disruptive.

Here's a recap of events following the date of my last post, for each of which I could probably write a short story. But anyway...

- A week in Hawaii with family for Grandpa's 90th

- Office moved to Alameda
- Sold the ragtop in 20 hours, almost got a new car
