For Auld Lang Syne

The year is fading into the past,
and I'm raising my glass of Martinelli's to
Auld Lang Syne.

(This is a loose translation of the lyrics.)

Should auld acquaintance (old friends) be forgot (be forgotten),
And never brought to mind (And never thought about)?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days of auld lang syne (and the days long since past)?

CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, (To the good old days) my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We’ll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
(We'll drink to the good old days)

Here's to 2008:
  1. Salzburg and Vienna Austria; The Czech Republic
  2. New York City and the Sista Trip.
  3. BYU Women's Conference.
  4. A new attorney, partner, house, lawn, deck, roof, project...
  5. The grand (kid) summer of memories.
  6. 4th of July Camp Out.
  7. Baby Benji.
  8. Paris and Colmar, France; Krakow and Bzianka, Poland.
  9. Thanksgiving in St. Louis.
  10. The book I wrote.
  11. Heroes who make me proud.
  12. The guy who makes life fun.
Here's to auld lang syne!
