2006 Year in Highlights

Watch the video

Warm holiday wishes from a balmy NYC. 2006 was a good year, some of the recap will be familiar to those of you who have followed the blog, or were at the holiday party. We start out and end on the top floor of a tenement on West 105th Street and Columbus Avenue. I rung in 2006 with a small impromptu party here and ended it with a nice holiday party a week ago. You can follow the seasons when you see the park, Central Park, that is. Most of the park photos are from my neighborhood - the Great Hill at 106th street and the pond at 103rd street. There were three trips to LA. So when you see palm trees you know I'm there (except the last palm trees - that will be Miami). The other beach you'll see is Ocean Grove/Asbury Park (no palm trees). Other highlights included are the Busch premiere party, Pride, 4th of July, Halloween and a trip to Gig Harbor. We sent Stephen off to Miami (again) and Scott off to LA (again). And then we welcomed Stephen back (Second Time Around Party). Drew, Marit, Troy and Nuno visited from LA, Norway, Michigan and Portugal respectively. Sadly, Lupe passed suddenly on December 1st - my mother's best friend. And there are cameos from Kitty Carlyle Hart, Judy Gold, Shakira, Celia Cruz, Amy Sedaris, Shrek, Madona, and the Queen of England as portrayed by Helen Mirren. Enjoy and have a Happy New Year!
