Well, having not played for ages, and buying a new guitar back in March... I'd have to say I've improved quite a bit. I usually have a guitar with me while I surf the net, and I will usually be mucking around while watching the Leafs.
I'm probably back to the level I was 20 years ago... not great, but can occasionally impress myself.
My 'now' teenage daughter is tougher to impress than my 'soon to be' 3 year old son is!
I've had such a good time this year playing the guitar, that I went out yesterday and picked up a new toy!
All in all, it's been a good year.
