Unless it's a fatal mistake, which, at least, others can learn from.”—Al Franken, Oh, The Things I Know (1951- ) Politician, Comedian, Writer, Liberal Political Commentator

Getting Ready for a New Year
So here I am on the cusp of another year. I’m hopeful that with 2012 I’ll be a better sister, daughter, friend, partner and employee. Maybe along the way I’ll be back into the habit of exercise and drop a few pounds. Maybe I’ll get by insurance designation and a promotion. Maybe I’ll got on my first cruise. Who knows? God does for sure. I’m just along for the ride.
