This year in first lines

Huh. I could have sworn Erin did this recently, and that that was where I got the idea. But I just combed back through two months of her posts (and that includes NaBloPoMo) and I got nothing. So maybe it was somebody else. Update: Aha! It was The Teacher. I guess I mixed them up because they use the same template.

But I know that Charlotte just did it today, so I guess she'll get the credit for inspiring me.

Anyway, this year-end review dredges back up the first line of the first post of each month of 2006. Whee!
