Reflections on 2006

Last year I started a "favorites" list for the previous year. As we put another one behind us, I like this way to reflect and record what made an impact on me. These aren't anything serious and it's not a reflection of the years events .... news programs can do that.

2006 Bests and Favorites:

TV Show: Grey's Anatomy & Family Guy (tie)

New TV Show: Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip

CD: Let Love In ~ Goo Goo Dolls

Song: Without You Here ~ GGD & 155 (+44) (tie) 155 is a song from Mark Hoppus' new band (+44).

Movie (in theaters): The DaVinci Code (I didn't see many)

Rental: RENT (It changed my CD rotation--I listened to it 45 days straight and the movie makes me cry every time!)

Football player: Packers Aaron Kampman

Football player I wish I could watch more: Saints' Drew Brees

Biggest Surprise: Chad Pennington and the New York Jets

Happy New Year everyone! Best wishes for 2007.
