I've lost 3 loved ones in 2006. Earlier in March, a co-worker died of a heart attack, and only a few months ago, my two cousins died in a car accident.
Of course, 2006 wasn't all bad. Twas the year I got my Class B license, and I got 3 new Gord albums: Shadows (early in the year) Summer Side Of Life, and Endless Wire. Johnny Cash's American V also came out this year I believe.
And Saddam Hussein was executed right here at the end. Good riddence.
