- Cpt. Sweetie survived a management re-organization that axed a number of other really good people. Not only did he survive, but he even got a promotion.
- We had a lovely long summer on the boat this year, with lots of gorgeous days for being on the water without too many mosquitoes!
- My Prius!
- My iPod Touch. With just a couple of small tweaks, this could replace my laptop.
- The kidlets were able to be in two middle school plays together this year, including a one-act of A.A. Milne's "Ugly Duckling" where the first 7 minutes of the play were a dialogue between the two of them.
- My dog continues to be a sweetie and a great addition to our pack.
- My depression continues to be under control and hasn't interfered in my life.
- My studio continues to be a lovely place to do art and write.
- I continue to be challenged and energized by my gig as a member of the Mom Squad for the St. Paul Pioneer Press.

- My girls continue to grow into their teen years with grace, charm, and balance. They remain excellent friends, and are still willing to show their affection for us as well.
- My extended family continues to be healthy, secure, and I have even gotten to see them all a few times this year.
- Our country elected a leader who acts with integrity, speaks with care and consideration, and has explicitly condemned Guantanamo and called for its closure.
