Ma will remember 2007 for her patio but moreover as the year her father put up with the same kind of crap she did a couple of years ago (and we aren’t talking about the Canadian Winter, although that was part of it). Like daughter like dad, there was a fairy tale ending, but more for him than for her. He is now frolicking in Florida, land of Disney, while she is still soldiering on at home here with The Three Stooges.
Pa will remember 2007 as the busy year that wasn’t. There was lots of running around but nothing to show for it on any front. All my running and dieting has led to a net weight loss of exactly 0 pounds (I would like to claim the glass is half full but did I mention the dieting part). At least my mortgage was finally paid off in 2007… but, alas, I will have to wait until next year when I pay off the second mortgage (remember the patio) before I can officially celebrate.
Thing 1 remembers 2007 as the year he discovered and read the entire Les Chevaliers d’Emeraude series of books. It was also the year he discovered Internet Role Playing Games, the Naruto cartoon on TV and chin-ups.

Thing 2 remembers 2007 as the year he discovered massage furniture (and had the whole family vibrating towards the Sears Home Center whenever negotiations arose to get him to tag along on any kind of serious shopping excursion). He also discovered the magician/illusionist Criss Angel and jiu jitsu over the course of last year.
