Happy New Year!
I can already tell 2007 is going to be another year full of change in my life!
Before I get too far, I want to take a moment. On 15 December 06, my grandfather passed away. He's the first of my grandparents to go. His health has been deteriorating, but it was still a bit of a surprise. Ima stopped in Atlanta on her flight out to Israel, and we had a little picnic with latkes in the airport. That weekend I drove down to be with my family at the ranch, and just relaxed a few days before heading back to the grind.

Back to Atlanta, back to the grind. The end of the year was extremely busy at work as we are adding major functionality to the site. We are scheduled to launch the next version March 1 which is only a few weeks away and there is a lot of work to be done.
Go Gators!
The Florida Gators are the NCAA Football Champions! They blew out Ohio State in a great game on January 8, and that's all she wrote. Florida is officially the first and only school in history to hold titles in both football and basketball at the same time. Go Gators!
Personal life has seen some development. For the first time in a very long time I am completely comforable with where things are, and where they are going.
Part of that is my commitment to the gym. I have been going since mid-October, I have lost five pounds, and I look great! I have been doing Pilates, Yoga and more recently started Body Pump, which is a light-weight training class that's all about repetition. Aside from those I try to do at least an hour of cardio a week, and some of the weight machines depending on what my body tells me. Those of you who haven't seen me in a while, will be amazed!
I would say barring any unforeseen U-turns, these statements will cover me for these months. I hope everyone is enjoying their 2007, and drop me an email whenever!
Love,
