The Best of Bob's Blog: A Year in Review 2007

Better late then never! Its February 1st, 2008 before I’m reviewing 2007. In my defense, we’ve already had 2 family-wide illness cycles since January 1!

Since I blog on so many different topics, weeding down my choices to 10 is difficult. So I’ll add a few honorable mentions, and then add in some favorites and other assorted distinctions for some other posts. This is fun for me, but it also can make some of my readers aware of older posts around here that might be worth checking out.

Without further ado, let’s begin, in reverse order.
