Happy New Year!

Getting to the blog awfully late today, but given the reputation that last night inevitably carries, I guess that's understandable. . . .

This is good-bye to 2013, and none too soon, if you ask me. It's just one more in a line of far too many years that have more than worn out their welcome by the time they were done. We can only hope that 2014 will be an improvement. If Superman can leap into the new year, then surely the rest of us can enter into it with optimism.
