No sh*t. Time seems to fly the older you get. 2007 flew by at warp speed.

Worst year for business. Every project went wrong along the way (no fault of our own)

On balance, '06 was a good year Quite some marriages and births in my circle, but no divorces and only one untimely death .
Material side was satisfactory - with sizeable pay rises and returns on investments etc.

Have a happy one, all of you.
