This year's had more than its share of surprises and enjoyable moments - looking on my moments list, it's been a good year. I can't complain. We're going out for dinner right now, so I'll cut this short - but, before I go, may I wish you a happy new year and a true hope for peace and prosperity for all people. Not everyone is as fortunate as we wish the world could afford to be possible, so be mindful of those people and show care and love without reservation...well, to an extent.
