Welcome 2013

It's a bit cliché, but I really do feel like I just wrote the 2012 New Year post. It's been a fun and interesting year to the say the least. The 459 Musings that I posted in 2012 covered a wide variety of topics, as promised last January 1. I want to thank everyone who stopped by. To those who came back repeatedly, and especially all of you who took the time to leave comments, I am indebted. Thank you friends.

I'll post no reflection on the trials of 2012. (Believe me, I drafted a number of attempts.) I won't make predictions, or resolutions for 2013. Suffice it to say, I've got plans to enjoy more good beer and food, devote myself to shooting better, and as often as possible. And of course, I'll continue to rely on God, not government, for my needs.

I wish the best for all of you. I hope 2013 brings you many blessings and much joy throughout the year.

Happy New Year!

"Freedom is never more than one generation away from extinction. We didn’t pass it on to our children in the bloodstream. It must be fought for, protected, and handed on for them to do the same, or one day we will spend our sunset years telling our children and our children's children what it was once like in the United States where men were free."

--Ronald Reagan
