Happy New Year!

I hope your New Year's Eve celebrations weren't quite so dramatic as Ms. Tree's apparently were, but our unseen assailant does make a good point. Now that 2014 is in the rear-view mirror (to which I say, "Good riddance," for the most part), maybe 2015 is a year to start making some noise. My To Do List is already bursting at the seams with new projects and new endeavors that need to get underway, and 2015 is guaranteed to bring its own surprises—good and bad—into the mix. But as a certain voice of his generation wrote a number of years ago, "Time is short and life is cruel—but it's up to us to change this town called malice (ooo-oooh, yeah)." Here's wishing all us a 2015 filled with health, happiness, and fun!
