2007 had its ups and downs, as usual.
The Apple iphone was really cool, and blogging took on a life of it's own.
The Red Sox swept their way into another title and Paris spent jail time.
Obama surged via Oprah, Barry finally broke that record and a Disney cartoon rat stole the show at the movies.
Malibu burned again and Iraq calmed down a bit.
The housing market went south as oil prices climbed northward.
Those are just some of the highlights and lowlights, but, as usual, we didn't get want we rally wanted or needed.
So, for those of you who are still clueless, let me itemized a few of the more obvious things we could use:
You can add you own in the comments area.
Otherwise, all the best for a terrific 08 and try not to make too many resolutions that will most probably be broken or ignored anyway.
Whoever came up with that idea should be on this list as well.
In other words, start self-improvement projects anytime you're ready.
Over and out.
