2012

Well, it's finally here, and it wasn't easy.

As we begin 2012, let's take a quick look back at 2011...  snowstorms, fires, an earthquake, Hurricane Irene, Tropical Storm Lee, the flooding Susquehanna, Conahan, Ciavarella, kids for cash, Cordaro, Munchak, Penn State, Paterno, Sandusky, Syracuse, the Sterling, city hall hijinks, gas drilling, the Yankees dismal attendance, the Penguins and the elusive Calder Cup...

I cannot remember a newsier year.

Let's hope 2012 is just as interesting, but far less tragic and corrupt.

Thanks for reading the blog and Tweets this year.  Have a great 2012.

I paused for a moment, just before the start of the new year to watch Dick Clark.  He sounds much better than recent years, and I will always admire his courage.

Now, it's back to the keyboard to continue banging out the morning news.
