It Was a Very Good Year.

The Great Plotnik has hit upon a grand tradition for Christmas -- Kodak Gallery Picture books. He loads all his best pictures of the year into a book on line at the Kodak Gallery site, edits them, sorts them, labels them, picks out a cover and a page style, then edits that and sends in his order. The recipient of the Best Photos of the Year photo book always loves it.

It didn't seem to Plot that he and The Great Ducknik had done much in 2006, but when he looked at all the photos, he realized it really had been a great year.

It started with making ravioli on New Year's Eve...


Moved on to Guatemala...


Hawaii...


Dan's graduation from Journalism School...


The trip to Block Island and Deer Isle, Maine...


And, of course, we've ended the year meeting Isabella Louise.


Oh, yeah.
