I’m writing this at the crack of 2007.
Not quite at the crack of since it’s already twelve hours into the new year, but it sounded good to me as I prepared to say so long to last year.
2006, although not what you would call super eventful it did prove to be a pretty good one.
No great trips this year except perhaps
Myrtle Beach last March when I took everyone’s money.
Ate too much toward the end of the year and put back some of the weight I had lost trying to get in shape. Quality of the golf game continued its downslide except for a late season comeback.
Did get hit in the head with a golf ball….line drive shot out of a practice bunker by my playing partner.
Bled bad, but thank God no stitches required.
Went fishing again in Maryland, again caught s..t, but had a nice time. Most of the good time in Maryland was spent drinking Pennsylavania’s Yuengling Beer. Great stuff. Also got a chance to see Annapolis and ate the hell out of plates of Oysters. So good, I even took Oyster pictures.
Also had a nice time visiting fourteen Connecticut wineries. Lots of wine tastings, picnic lunches and fodder for the wine cooler our kids bought us. Connecticut wineries have what they call a Passport Program. You take your passport to the winery you visit and get it stamped. If you visit the required number of wineries you enter your completed Passport in a drawing to win of three great trips to Germany, California, and Canada. Needless to say, we didn’t win, but it was a nice way to spend our days traveling Connecticut.
Looking back, I think that the best part of the year was that I stayed pretty damn healthy for an old fart over seventy. Hope I have this kind of luck in 2007.
You’ll notice that there were no bitches in this Blog. I thought I’d bring you a whole new batch in 2007. Till then!
