Januaries can be tricky. On the one hand, they are post-holidays-still-winter disappointing. A downward spin into the horrors of Arizona summer. On the other hand, they mean a new year, new beginning, fresh starts. I've chosen to make this January the latter. These have been cheering me up a whole lot


and I've been trying to spend more time out here.

So bring it on 2008. Everyone knows that even-numbered years are the most fun anyway.
