Cort, it was a odd year. I did get to do some cool things like My son graduating from College, the Rolex Series Race at Watkins Glen and the Super Chevy Show in PA. But it was also one of the more stressfull years as well. My sister have her pacemaker replaced because the "Best in Buffalo" F*#Ked it up, My Best friend going through a nasty divorce and seeing my nieces being brainwashed by his ex, and The death of My Grandmother. It will definitley be one I remember, just not all in a good way.

I know all too well, the 'Best of Buffalo". They sure did not do my mother-in-law any justice. I think she would of lived longer, if not for their screw-ups.

My hubby had an aortic valve replacement last year, which was very stressful, but good has come out of it. He is no longer smoking and that is good for me as well.

I think overall though, the year was good.

This year I predict to be a bit better, but one never knows when things can go south. LOL
