Happy New Year everyone! Here’s hoping that 2009 offers up some better times than 2008 ended with. Even if it means that the human race as a whole has to work together to make it happen. Something we, as a people, have always had the greatest trouble in doing.
One can always hope though. 
I have great hope for 2009! And will drink to the end of 2008 and the Bush regime. There is hope for the world after all. Happy New Year to you and Laurie and thank you Kirk, for all your blogging help! You have been a great friend and I appreciate it more than you know.
Hi Elaine,
Laurie sends you a Happy New Year back to you and so do I for that matter. Here’s to better times and another year of blogging about it (and all craziness it brings). It was a close one but I actually decided to carry on here for another year (I finally had to toss a coin–I lost.
).
Now I’m going to bed and I’m not going to get up until next year! See you then.
Happy New Year to you too! – p.s. I look n’feel like that pic above!
