Gratitude-

For my family, especially the much too-good-for-me husband, my dear friends, and for you, every last one of you.  Bonne santé!

For the title of the Paul Simon CD: "So Beautiful….or So What.”  Despite all I know, despite all I fear, I’m voting for “so beautiful.” Who wouldn't, really?

For my most enjoyed line in a 2011 Movie: "Light the fuse."  Tom Cruise, at the end of the title sequence of "Mission Impossible, Ghost Protocol."

For the best verbal exchange:

Parent: “If you draw the line, what color do you use?” 

Child (with no need to think): “Revenge Red.”

On to 2012.  Warm(ed) wishes.  I will return, mark your calendars friends.
