Is It Here Yet?

If 2008 were a horse, I'd picture it right now as a tired old nag. Swayback, with no teeth and hardly able to walk, let alone carry a person. Which is weird, because personally for us--2008 wasn't that bad. But it seems it's a year most of us are ready to leave behind. So like a rodent roused from my nap, I inch out of my den--sniff the air and welcome the new year.

Happy 2009 everyone and may this year be sane, safe and prosperous for all.
