Hot Shots of the Week: Happy New Year

As one year ends and another begins, it’s time to raise a glass—or a gigantic bottle—and toast to new beginnings. Or just drink away your sorrows after a lousy year. That’s acceptable on this day, too. Happy New Year, everyone!

Christmas Leftovers

I hope you all enjoyed a merry, and restful, Christmas this year. As a little post-Christmas gift, here’s an odds ‘n’ sods collection of leftover stuff I had accumulated but didn’t get to post before December 25th.
