Taylor's New Year's 2006 Letter

Yes, it’s hard to believe – your mind’s not playing tricks
In the blink of an eye we’ve hit Two Thousand Six!
I hope you’ll forgive me for not doing better
It’s been three whole years since my last New Year’s letter
I’ve so much to tell you – so much you should know
Enough with the howdy-ing – on with the show!

The biggest news headline from ’04?  No doubt:
Maryland’s In; Connecticut’s Out
We moved down to Germantown – outside DC
For Dad’s work on standards for healthcare IT
 

My Mom, too, is making a difference here
By making the cancer survivor’s plight* clear
And now she is only a few months away
From completing the coursework for her MBA

Me?  I’ve been growing and learning to share
And playing and making new friends everywhere
I retired from modeling after the move
(DC doesn’t have the same Manhattan groove)
I won’t miss the work, tho’ I’ll miss Mom’s huge smile
When she first saw my face down a Toys’R’Us aisle

Wow!  That's me on that Weebles Box!

Taylor and "Cool Daddy" Martin do a show at NCPDP in Phoenix, AZ,
March 2005.  Note the excellent mike positioning.  He's a pro!

There are just a couple of scary things lurking
Grandpa’s real sick and my kidney’s not working
I’m going to have surgery sometime next week
Your prayers and thoughts I most earnestly seek
They say I’ll be better in no time at all
I’ll get right back to playing and having a ball

I’ll be ready for visitors soon – have no fear
So let’s stay in touch – have a
Happy New Year!
