Year-End Wrapup

As you may have noticed the Schad crew filled out year-end wrapups which were linked to Zorn this morning. I missed the boat on that, but that doesn't mean my year is being wrapped up any less than Kate, Sandy, Justin, or Stephe's. While I might not be as verbose or pointed as Kaufman's (I mean seriously, have you read his blog the last few days, the man is out of control, content is his new crack, it's scary), I can still throw in.
