Happy New Year!

I didn't ring in 2008 quite like I planned. I wanted to be whooping it up in the Sac with all the neighbors, but the thing is a 102 fever, Sudafed, and Bud Light just don't mix! I did step out for a bit to snap one pic of my pyromaniac daughter:


And here's the one who, thanks to July 4th, is forever traumatized by fireworks:


Scaredy Kat and I went in, she was in bed by 8 and I started working on our montage of 2007. In between uploading photos, I cursed the fact that we do not own a never ending water heater, since the hot shower is the only place where I've been feeling normal. I seriously considered pricking my eye with a pin to see if my head would burst like a balloon and release all the pressure in there. I thought I was dying as I hacked up my left lung. I decided that Texas was not near south enough for me and contemplated a move to Belize where it is 83 degrees and perhaps I never would have caught this most miserable of colds. And then I watched the NYC ball drop, not with Dick Clark, but with my favorite anchors on ESPNews.

Take a look at some memories from 2007. Most you've seen before, some you haven't. But it was a wonderful year!

Here's hoping 2008 is just as great. And it will be. As soon as I can breathe again...
