As this year ends, I'm glad that it is ending. It's been like a plague of locusts has been unleashed with 2 wars, economy in the toilet, the Bush administration hurrying to do as much damage to the environment as possible, etc. However, a ray of HOPE happened in 2008. President Obama has the good will of the people behind him and I pray that he will be wise, fair and honest. So, an escalator is an appropriate image on which to close this year. Tomorrow, I will get up, as every other year, and watch the cheery Rose Parade. It is a great beginning to what I HOPE will be a better year. I don't expect miracles, just for things to finally begin to get better. We can have a land of opportunity once again.
Happy New Year everyone!
