Happy new year to all of you!

Orval is still in the hospital, so I'll probably spend New year's at home.
That's okay. New Year's Eve is really the worst time to go out. Restaurants are crowded, service is lousy because the poor waiters and waitresses are stressed and unhappy to have to be working when everyone else is partying. Who can blame them?
So, I'll ring in the new year at home.

Hope all is well for all of you. May 2013 be better for all of us than 2012 was.
