TO THE VERY HAPPIEST OF NEW YEARS

At the start of a fresh new year, I'd like to offer my deepest and most real thanks: to all of you reading this blog, and commenting on it, sending me e-mails and dropping some coin in my tip jar, thank you from the bottom of my heart. The last couple of months were crazy and I haven't been remotely as good about keeping up with comments and so forth as I'd like to have been, but please know that I read every word and I'm grateful for all of it.

2015 is going to be a year of necessary and overdue changes in my life - what, precisely, they'll be and when, exactly, they'll happen, is still a bit unclear at this stage, and what effect that's going to have on the blog is unknown to me. But I look forward to crossing that bridge with all of you when it comes, and in the meanwhile, I appreciate the support you've all given me during what has proven to be an extremely rewarding year personally, however uncertain and ugly it has gotten at times in the world at large. Here's to an even better year to come.
