I am back from vacation now, and it is nice to get back to the blog to do come catch-up with you. I was away for most of the holidays out in Prescott, Arizona with my parents. I finished up the holiday in New York, jumping into the new year from the top of a chair in Williamsburg, Brooklyn. It was a great break, and the holidays never last as long as you'd like them.

I am pretty excited about what is in store for this year. I can not seem to get over that today is a huge election day. The first day of ten months of electoral battle. Right now, I have no idea who will end up in top. I kind of hope that these first few states all end up in a draw so that come my time to vote, it will actually mean something. I doubt it, but it would be nice. As a political junkie, this year looks especially interesting. There is a good chance that my horse may win the race this year, which would be a welcome change.

The Superbowl looks to be a dud this year, unless a certain undefeated team happens to slip up, but Beijing should pick up the slack. I heart the Olympics. Always a good time. Sure, I can not think of a singe athlete who will be playing, but there is always great stuff to watch. Of course, there are the obvious sports that I like along with everyone else, but maybe this will be the year that Handball will finally take off. That would be awesome.

Good friends are getting married. My brother is getting married. There are a lot of weddings to go to this year, in Texas, Washington state, upstate New York and a couple of other places that slip the mind right now. I'm always happy to see new places, dress up and celebrate.

Personally, I have a few projects that should come into their own this year, and once they do, you will be the first one to hear about them.

Fingers crossed, let it be a good year.
