Well, thank goodness. I couldn’t be happier with a year – and it hasn’t really begun yet. But like so many, I’m looking forward to November, with a weather eye on the upcoming primaries. Rumor has it Perry and Gingrich will be able to squeeze onto the Virginia ballot. Don’t know if that’s true, but [...]
