Is it that time of year again so soon? It hardly seems possible that 2009 is nearly over. However, one could say good riddance to this most tumultuous trip around the sun with unbridled relief, as it has been at the very least, a major disappointment. With hopes and aspirations so high at the beginning, perhaps a letdown was inevitable, given the circumstances.
We wanted to leave with a clever posting encapsulating the events of this past year into 750 words or less that would make sense of the madness we have witnessed; but every contemporary writer around the globe dealing with like subject matter will be doing just that. Since in our opinion, the simplest farewell is always the best farewell, this is how we bid you today.
If so moved and or motivated, maybe we will have something of significance to share before that Time Square Ball drops to ring in 2010, but barring that, we will see you here near mid January. I myself, have a book to finish, a beach to visit, and a romance to rekindle so this shall serve as my last communication of this calendar year. Because I am so confident your world will do just fine until we meet again, I will simply say, “May your God bless you until then.”
