Happy New Year! And in order to look ahead we must look back. Previously I’ve written posts detailing of all of the interesting, important and neat thing that happened in the previous year. I’m not going to do that this year. The archives are in the column to the right if you are interested, but the short version is this:
A.B.D.
Conferences in Troy, Little Rock, Boston, Portland, and St. Louis
Visited Bermuda, Notre Dame, Gulf Shores, D.C., and others
Took a much needed summer break
I rode my bike about 1,000 miles, but not nearly enough
I worked a lot, but not nearly enough
We generally had a terrific, lovely year
So with done, let’s empty the last few photographs from late in the year that I’ve been holding for just this post.

Feel free to enjoy this delicious blueberry muffin recipe:
Toys R Us, on Christmas Eve. Spooky place:
The Yankee, as a child at the beach. She still flashes me this smile:
Tomorrow: 2012 jokes!
