Are we all ready for 2012?
Laura and I are, we think.
Coming off the best holiday season we’ve spent together in years, we’re eager to return to the routine of work. She’s just left for her office, on this first work day of the new year, and I’ll head out in just a bit.
No way to know, of course, where the year will take us. When the markets opened this morning, the Dow was up by something like 250 points. Now, that’s optimism. But maybe it’ll be a good year. We’re due for one, God knows.
Can only hope that the crazies in Iran don’t start a conflagration over sanctions and oil. Or that none of the countries in the eurozone default on their debts. If either of those things happen, all bets are off.
My hopes? That we all stay healthy, that the cats stay well, that work remains stable, and that we’re able to take some time off to do something interesting and relaxing, while making a few photographs that satisfy us.
Oh – and that my old heap of a car gets through its smog test next month.
We shall see.
