Year in review.
Aisby recapped her year in this post. It was a good one for her.
I liked the idea, so I decided to recap Hammer's 2006.
Jan 06 : I quit my DJ job at the karaoke bar and left those miserable drunks behind.
Feb 06 Bought a New Dodge Charger, Fun fast car. Too much temptation for me. I drive the SUV and let my wife get the traffic tickets.
Mar 06 Cut all ties with former fake friends. Changed my phone numbers and laid down the law with my extended family. I basically told everyone not to fuck with me or my kids.
April 06 My great niece was born. My Nephew is the only one I'm close to on that side of the family.
May 06 Despite troublesome ADHD and a slew of shitty teachers my son passed normal standardized testing and was taken out of special education.
June 06 I started When your only tool is a hammer... Went to Las Vegas and took a driving trip through the Southwest with my family
July 06 I got my first non spam comment from Phoenix
August 06 All of my kids began attending the same school kinder, 1st and 4th grade My wife and I celebrated our 15 year wedding anniversary.
September 06 I finished my first book and shelved it for future editing.
October 06 I took the month off except for blogging and taking care of the kids.
November 06 Voted, decided I hate my in laws even more and again told everyone to fuck off.
December 06 Had a good Christmas, The kids hit behavioral and academic milestones, I've decided to be more outspoken in my personal life in the upcoming year.
Thanks everyone. Your kindness has made 2006 one of the best years in a long line of forgettable ones.

The SUV will be worhtless in a few years when oil is up to $10 a gallon. Or gone completely.
Scott: you should have been a motivational speaker. I'll get right on it.
aisby, thanks I've got my work cut out for me.
Otis: Thanks, The family and I are staying at my nephews house and having a big party. Everyone is sleeping over. It's not even safe to drive sober on new years.
KB: Thanks for the vote of confidence. I can't ask for much better.
Crallspace, My SUV is metal protection from the shithead drivers in my town. It gets 19 city and 27 hwy. I bought it mostly to take the kids on trips around the country. I don't fly nazi checkpoint cavity search airlines anymore.
Yeah Hammer, get your book out...
And I hope the coming year will be even more successfull with even more joy and pleasure for you nad your family.
I'm not going to recap my year, it's all in my blogs.
And I'm not going to put a book together even though I have enough materials and writings here for three or four of them. I'm not an author and I know that. I'll leave it all for someone else to work on if they choose to. The last chapter of the best one isn't going to get written anyway.
I have no idea how the next year will go, but I'm sure it will be interesting.
Happy New Year, Hammer.
I get pleasure out of reading your blog. Thank you for adding to my life !
The kindness is mutual, and well appreciated.
Sincerely/Warmly,
Anne

Happy New Year Hammer. Thanks for being a regular visitor to my blog.
Happy New Year Hammer! The best news on that annual recap was that you've written a book. I can't wait to read it someday.
regarding ADHD
I was diagnosed with it when I was a kid
I was OUT OF CONTROL HYPER
But only when i ate certain foods, my mom figured this out.
She found the Feingold diet.
It is basically a diet free of chemicals an additives in foods.
When I was on a natural diet, I got straight A's, when i went off the diet, I got dark circles under my eyes and flew into a ADHD hyper fury.
It may be the same for your son, check it out huh?
there is an extensive website
the feingold foundation i think it is.
it is really something. worked wonders for me.
Happy New Year, and I look forward to reading your book. I think all the other comments make it obvious you have an audience ready to put you on the bestseller list.
...and may 2007 be even better.
Happy New Year, Hammer!
I love this! I wish I could remember before the blog and I would do it.
