Turning

I can't say I regretted closing the door on the year we all just lived through. The U.S. military reached 3,000 deaths in Iraq; the world saw the final days of two former dictators, a former U.S. President, and the Godfather of Soul--and none of those were the sunset I cared most about. It was a year rich in memories.

Here's wishing a happy and peaceful new year to all who read these words.
