HAPPY NEW YEAR
Whew! Christmas 2011 is over. We trust you and yours had a happy and joyous Christmas. Christmas is always a looked forward to event but the hustle and bustle seems more taxing as we age. We look forward to it coming and look forward to it being over, at least at our household.
For many, the holiday season continues with no school, some not having to work, or even vacation time. The coming weekend continues with the New Year of 2012. We look forward to another year and wonder what is in store. New Year’s resolutions may come and go, as we prepare for another year.
Being an election year, we are certain to be besieged with political advertising. One person being good, the opponent is a scoundrel, and vice versa. Ah, the good ole campaigning tactics. Next week at this time we should know the outcome of the Iowa Caucus and the full fledge campaigning will ramp up. Oh well, it provides fodder for us in the media. Expect this election to be one of the nastiest on record.
Chillicothe certainly was in the news over the holidays. The body of a man found on the riverfront certainly is news. As of this writing, not much is known. The sudden death of a former resident that moved to Enterprise Alabama is another news story. Neither was of the type we would prefer.
Life, however, goes on regardless of events. We live and learn to cope with it as it comes along. We hope that 2012 brings each of us some happiness.
We close the final 2011 issue with simply; Wishing you a Very Happy New Year!
