The Year(s) in Haiku

[flwyd]

My family frequently doesn't get around to sending our version of holiday cards -- a family newsletter. This year we're sending one which goes back to Y2K. Here's my part. I think there's some missing (like our trip to Minnesota), since I knew it would be covered elsewhere in the newsletter. I may acquire (and post) the rest later.
