December, the end of a year.  It has come exceedingly quickly this time around.   I can say that I am looking forward to the new year.  This year was not one of my better ones. My wife's illness colored the year, but as it goes on the prognosis is that she is doing ok.  At least she is still alive for me to write about. 

Anyway, as we move into the new year, all our hopes and dreams are renewed.  I look forward to a very busy year.  One of my friends is running for Mayor and I am the campaign HQ IT manager.  This is just one of the projects in the works for the new year.

Now the best news!  Starting Sunday I am actually taking a full week of vacation!  Because of days off and scheduling I do not have to go back to the grind till December 15th!!!! :D.  Do not dispair however, I will be online from where ever I am.  I'm to much of a junkie to be disconnected for that long. :lol:

PS; enjoy the pictures of snow and ice.  Better a picture then on the ground.
