Massachusetts, here I come!

It seems appropriate to have something to say on the first day of the year, some grand word of commencement, something to sum up, size up, tie up, gag, and mysteriously make disappear all the things that have happened in the year past.

Well. All I can really think of is this: I'm terrifed, mortified, surely ready to be horrified--by all that's to come. Which isn't to say I'm inclined to stay where and when I am, just that I feel as though from here on out everything is going to be --or, ought to be-- rather epic.

I guess that's the best I can hope for, anyway.
