The end of the year is upon us. 2012 was sort of shit, so I’m glad to see 2013 arrive. I guess. Happy New Year to all of you and yours. Make bad decisions, but make safe decisions next week. You don’t want to start 2013 on a sour note. It was a pretty slow week of links. I’m assuming no one is working. Well done. Don’t forget that the annual Desipio-HJE get-together is coming up. On Friday, January 18th, to be exact. Details will follow, but rest assured it will NOT be at Shitty O’Kea’s. Maybe we’ll go somewhere that GORDON WITTENMYER can’t find us.

Your tips are as appreciated as not overpaying for bottled domestic beer and being forced to listen to folk music at an uncomfortable volume.
