I hope y’all made it through 2011 unscathed. 2012 beckons. Let’s hope things get better on the jobs front this year. And that rich people won’t have to start paying taxes. Things are warm here. Forty degrees right now, and it’s supposed to get up near fifty today. An unusual start to the new year in these parts. That’s not supposed to last, of course, and by the wee hours of Tuesday morning it’s supposed to be down into the single digits. And they say some snow’s a-comin’. So I suppose I ought to get out there and enjoy this while it lasts.
