Wishing everyone a very happy New Year!

We are off tomorrow to celebrate New Year's at a remote cottage on a tiny island. The photo above was taken in the summer, and it will probably be completely snowed in there now. There is a fireplace so it will be cozy warm but there is no internet access and we'll be using this few days to recharge our ethereal batteries for the New Year.

We're back here on January 3rd.

Thanks much to all our regular readers for hanging out with us in 2008!
