The 2007 as I see it.

The year ahead can already be outlined by our various plans and traditions of past years.

January, February and March are generally slow months and because of the (usual) cold weather in these months are restricted to birthdays and holidays such as my own birthday on January 23rd and my sisters on the 26th and my mother in-laws on the 31st. My nephew Adam will have his 1st birthday on February 10th and then we will have various days such as Valentine's day - a romantic meal with the missus - and St Patricks day, a date with a bottle of guiness.

April will bring me back to Ireland to visit with friends and family and I am really looking forward to getting back to see everyone and perhaps reclaim some of the accent. May will bring an eagerness for the summer months and perhaps a trip to Long Beach Island and this time a gig with the Saw Doctors (we will be devastated if they dont come back to Bethlehem or if there is a freak snow storm to stop them again) - see last October's post.

June will be Jills birthday and most days at the pool and July will bring the same but also the day off for 4th of July, Independance day. August will be perhaps the highlight of the year when we have 10 days of Musikfest and a trip to Ocean City Maryland.

September is a tentative date for some of my family to come visit me over here it is also my sisters birthday. And October is a planned trip to Disney again, usually we go every 2 years but because we had such a good time last year and the fact that you must seize the day and enjoy life to the maximum we are committed to going again. Also halloween will be part of October.

November brings Marc's birthday and Jacks also and this is perhaps the last mild month until the winter comes again. December is my mams birthday and christmas and new years. So the year of 2007 went pretty fast....well lets live it first. Of course there will be lots of other stuff going on but its fun to project ahead.
