Your lists are pretty much in sync with mine, IF I did lists. I'd have different items in the personal things I treasure, of course, and I'd be walking on Cloud 9 with Edwards/Obama for '08!

Funny coincidence, I play a different kind of game on NYE. Come see my NYE Island!

Wonderful Marc Broussard vid. I couldn't keep my feet still. Must be mandatory!

D.K. Raed said...

ps, one of the things I treasure is the friendship and encouragement you have given me. It's easy to see you put your whole heart into whatever you do. I've enjoyed reading your thoughts & insights. Tonight's a good night for remembering 2007 ... pretty soon that damn times sq disco ball will drop & we can start filling in those blank pgs of 2008. I hope for dreams realized.
