A year in the life of the blog
Ann Althouse celebrates the New Year by selecting her favorite post from each month of the year. She links back to the post that "represents what I consider to be the essence of what I'm trying to do here." Professor Althouse apparently has a far greater blog-awareness than I do, since I wouldn't have a clue what the "essence" of this blog is. However, that doesn't make it any less a good idea. Herewith, my favorite posts of the year, and begging your forgiveness in advance for picking more than one post per month. [OK, it turned out to be more like five posts per month...]
I'll put up a month or two of links at a time this evening (watching the Bears play a terrible game against the Packers) and tomorrow, so check back here for updates.

What a nest idea. My youngest boy surprised the heck out of me over Christmas break by asking me to assemble my "best work" (huh???). Apparently he wants to print it up.
I don't even know where to start. I guess this is as good a way as any. Thanks for the idea. And for kindly allowing me to post here at TigerHawk. That was one of the highlights of 2006.
