Hello, 2008.

First of all, I meant to make a post last night, on the last night of 2007, but apparently the Motel 6 in Grand Junction, CO doesn't have internet. Or clean sheets for that matter. Or heat vents without dead animals in them. Hey, it was $40. I couldn't resist.

Here's my Greatest of 2007 list:

GREATEST MEMORY - Caribbean cruise with Hailey and our friends, the Jacobs.

GREATEST ACCOMPLISHMENT - Landing the new gig.

GREATEST HEARTACHE - Missing the family while in LA on TV production.

GREATEST EPIPHANY - Realizing that it's okay to be wrong.

GREATEST YOUTUBE VID - Chocolate Rain Spoof.

GREATEST MOVIE - Lars and the Real Girl

GREATEST RECORDS - Foo Fighters' "Echoes, Silence, Patience & Grace." Jimmy Eat World's, "Chase This Light." The National's, "Boxer." Band of Horses', "Cease to Begin."

GREATEST CONCERT - Rush at Redrocks Amphitheater.

GREATEST MOMENT OF IMMATURITY - Writing this commercial for the Sean Kimerling Testicular Cancer Foundation.

GREATEST AREA OF GROWTH - Work ethic.

GREATEST MOMENT - Every moment I was able to spend with Hailey, Berlin and lil' James.

So now it's a new year. A new year for better health. A new year for spending more time with family. A new year for blogging more regularly. A new year for realizing career goals. A new year for actually getting the new Hudson River School record put out. A new year for remembering it's good to have hobbies. A new year for being the best husband and father I can be. Welcome, 2008. Here we go.

UPDATE: I am tagging the following individuals to post their answers to the above Greatest of 2007. Cut + paste, folks.
