Happy You Near

I realized the other day that my last post was in December and that I hadn't put anything up yet this year, so here it is - the first post of 2008.



First of all, happy new year. Hope this one is twice as good as the last one, and at least as long.



Second, no baby yet. As most of you know, we're expecting our third little tornado. Today is Due Date Plus 6 and counting.



Some of you know my sister and her husband are embarking on an epic adventure into South America, starting today (hopefully). They've requested that their blog account of the trip be kept semi-private, so as much as I'd like to pass along the address I'm bound by blood and sinister oaths of secrecy to only comment "They're doing fine." Good luck Sal, we're thinking about you.



All of you know that my brother Spam is a slacker and needs a good kick in his creative posterior for not posting anything for a month.



As I'm writing this, Ohio State is licking its wounds in the locker room after self-destructing in the first half of the national championship game. Come on Buckeyes, show the world what the Big Ten is made of! (But not like Illinois showed them. Or Wisconsin. Or Indiana. Or Michigan State.) Okay, just make it interesting.



I didn't post a year-end wrap-up. If you want to know what happened to us last year go back and read the posts yourself.



Finally, we're looking forward to much excitement and many adventures this coming year. Check in often. Only leave good comments.
