Well, folks, it’s happened.  One minute we’re rushing around like chickens with our heads cut off trying to find that elusive gift for the hard-to-buy-for-cousin; the next, we’re drinking in the new year.  Is it really 2012 already?  Yes, Virginia, it is a new year!

As we look forward to our adventures in the year ahead (hence the train tracks!), let me again thank all of you who have invited me into your email boxes each week!  Here’s to a happy and prosperous new year. (And to hoping the Mayans were not correct!).
