Last Full Week

I am already, mentally, ready for the Bahamas. Unfortunately, I can't quite get to that point yet because of a pesky thing like my 9-6 job. But I digress...

It's been an interesting year. The song "fire and rain" has been in my head for so long. Good things and bad things.

Like a burst pipe.
A week with my family over the 4th of July in DC. Joey's lemonade outburst. And Joey's police routine.
Easter with our parents.
A new niece. And soon to be a new nephew.
Steve's 20th HS reunion.
A good friend losing her dad. Another friend dealing with illness.
Evenings like Saturday with new and old friends, way too much wine, potluck, and random conversations.
An election party. And an election wake.
More work travel than I care to truly remember.
The Tigers coming so damn close....
And the Lions going nowhere.
The book release.
Painting the entire damn house. And refinancing, again.
An awesome block party and a chance to feel at home in our neighborhood.
Obsessed with Mad Men. 
Dad's retirement.
The Springsteen concert, and seeing Fanfarlo and Frightened Rabbit.
Steve getting into the National. 
The anticipation and the agony of the Obamacare verdict.
And an unforgettable trip to Africa, from the flight to the safari to the wedding to the time spent with friends. And ebola.
And hopefully one more wonderful getaway and more time with family, more time with friends.
It's been quite a year.
