The year is pretty much up, and the results are in.  Here are the top posts and search terms from my site!

Top Posts/Pages – There is a huge drop off after the top 3 posts.  The Garmin post was linked to from a GPS review site and the Zantac post has been linked to from Wikipedia, and turns up in the top search results when search for “Zantac ” + drinking/alcohol, etc..

Can you pick out the random ones? (#5, #4, #1)  These all resulted in viewing the Halloween Kegger 2005 Pix, but search volume was too low overall to push it into the top 10.  Also that post received the bulk of traffic during the Halloween season of 2007:

The season is over, and we ended the year at a boring 8-8.  I do think that Jim Zorn did pretty well despite the crash and burn in the second half of the year.  He brought fire and emotion back to the sideline that the second coming of Gibbs never even came close to showing.  Our defense had a phenomenal year (thanks to the pro-bowl snubbed London Fletcher, and rookie standout Horton), while the offense struggled to score in the double digits each week.

There are obvious gaps in how the Redskins are building the team.  People blame Jason Campbell, but what quarterback could make throws when linemen are busting through the line in under 2 seconds almost each play?!  People blame Zorn for having Mike Sellers fail to smash it in from the 6 inch line, but that becomes pretty hard when your line doesn’t move the other team forward.  It’s amazing Portis even came close to 1,500 yards this year.  We are terrible at drafting and overpay for big names that don’t ever produce (favorable) results.  Which brings us to the point of this post: Vinny Cerrato.  Each year, we call for him to be fired.  With Wikipedia, people are publicly documenting Cerrato’s shortcomings.  This is awesome – if only Dan Snyder would listen.

I have had my Grandpa’s paintings ever since my Grandma passed away a few years ago.  They didn’t really have nice frames on them, and finally after moving into my new place, I decided to put them into some nice frames.  My Grandpa was self taught for all the crafts he was into: painting, carving, woodburning.  My mom just told me that he learned to paint from books and paint by numbers.  Eventually he moved up to doing large paintings.  He did painted of these back in 1971.  They used to be in make-shift frames, but now they’re finally in frames that do them justice.
