Happy New Year!


I hope that everyone is fresh after a night of getting to bed early and avoiding merriment, and I hope that as you read this you are sitting down at home about to enjoy a day of relaxation and football.

I'm about to call it a night for my holiday, but I wanted to leave you with a quick picture. This is the empty, fairly sad looking wall of my hooch...but, you can see that now there are two things on the wall, where before there was only one.

My plan is to use the wall as a sort of calendar, putting up a new decoration for each Federal holiday that I spend over here. The Duke stocking covered Christmas (thanks mom!) and the calendar of photos of me and the wife covers New Year's (thanks wife!). MLK day (nee Lee Jackson King Day to you Virginians out there) is still up in the air, so shoot me a line if you have a good idea for something Duke, Cal, Redskins or Lauren related that also evokes the memory of powerful oration and civil rights leadership.

Is that an Oprah Book Club selection on your bookshelf?

You'll have to wait until the next stats round-up to find out!

Nice try - you can totally see the Oprah book club golden seal of approval on the cover. You read more Oprah books than my book club does!
