in lieu of a holiday card...

New Years day hike to Madonna peak

We're terrible about getting those holiday cards out, though we love getting them from the many friends and family that took the time to send us a note, a card, or a photo. 

A blog post seems less personal than card, but if you actually check this old site, this posting is especially for you! 

Here's wishing you all a happiness and good health in the new year.
