A New Year

The new year has come marching in like an angry lion -- that is, the weather. We now have our first truly wintery day this season. It is very windy, snowing, and it's cold. I'm glad most people will be staying home today. I'm hoping that 2012 will be a better year overall. Wishing for our family no deaths or major illnesses/accidents, financial stability, calmer political atmosphere, and many happy experiences. Happy New Year!
