Adios, 2012! Welcome, 2013!

8 pm; no photo in the can yet: pull out new toys, new app, toss some compost on the light box, run it through Tiny Planet, voila. Just some good clean fun on New Year's Eve.

A bit surreal, which is how I'm feeling right now -- we recently received news that my 92 year old dad has lung cancer and will start on hospice this week. He refuses any treatment, and he's failing rapidly. When you have an elderly parent, you know the time for them to pass on can't be far away, but when the word comes, it's still a shock. He's had a good life, he's a good man, and I will miss him.

You might remember this blip of him and his wife last spring.
