Happy New Year!

(well almost)
2009 will be a verrry interesting year, I'm sure. We'll become an obama-nation, with hope for a new direction.
on a more personal note, Third Son will graduate from high school, and we'll be ever closer to that so-called "empty nest." (Though I'm pretty sure I'll be ready for assisted living by the time all the off-spring have spread their little wings and flown away for good.)
Best wishes for the New Year to one and all!
