A Year In Review

Thanks to the lack of internet at my apartment and an unusually busy December here at the office I didn’t get a chance to post anything before or during my holiday break. I enjoyed my time off by celebrating Christmas and New Years with family and friends and did a lot of other fun activities like golfing, movie-watching, shopping, dart-throwing, sleeping, barhopping, bowling, eating, gift-giving, ultimate-frisbeeing and watching plenty of football. Needless to say, it was a very busy break and everything went by so quickly, but I’m back now and am here to recap the past year by highlighting some of the high and low moments of 2006. There were thousands of unforgettable moments from this past year, which I have narrowed down to those I could recall. So here they are:
