happy new year, my friends

2013 was a rough and rollercoastery one. While the year is ending on a high note (despite a lot of lows and "mehs" prior), I am still rather excited for the psychological freshness that the new year brings.

Here's to a kinder, gentler 2014. Rock on out there.

More holidays. I joined my family after work at the house and we drove down to Shrewsbury to spend Christmas Eve and Day with some of our aunts, uncles, cousins. Gift swaps and far too much food.

We catered a small public gathering event at the Gilsland Farm Audubon Center tonight (I hear there's great snowshoeing there in the winter, must remember). I arrived early and opted to take a quick stroll through the woods, where I happened upon a little herd of deer and managed to seem non-threatening enough to get pretty close. Watching them hang out while the sun was setting was pretty great. See?

Lots of food, lots of family.
