Last Moments of 2006

With just 5 minutes left in 2006, it is fun trying to keep Mikaeel up for the countdown. 2006 has been a great year professionally and personally. My biggest achievement for 2006 has been teaching my son the pleasures of basic algebra, geometry and trigonometry. It is tough explaining sine and cosines to an 8-year old, but its amazing how receptive kids are to new concepts.

Every year I think that I cant possibly work any harder, but it seems there are few limits to human perseverance & hard work. I guess I will find out in 2007 whether there are limits. The countdown has begun, I have 731 left ... it's everything I have teed up for.

In the last few moments of 2006, Riz wonders what Lauren is up to.

The winter has been kind so far - no snow on the ground and the forecast of temperatures in the 40s all next week.

Best Wishes to all my friends and family for a healthy, happy and prosperous 2007.
