Happy New Year, Edheads On-line

We embrace 2006 with open arms. Julie continues to kick butt with her fight. Robbie sold out two children's New Year's shows in advance. Eddie loans his percussive power and recording skills to a number of area musicians, and Michael combats Middle Age by releasing his first ever solo CD (You can read his year end journal entry - to be posted soon on the site under December). Yes, we do have dates on the books (you can read more below).

Farewell, 2005. No Creative Memories scrapbook for you! No acid-free construction paper, sparkly stickers or snowflake & sunshine stencils commemorating your tenure. 2006 is the new black. Look out!
