Happy new year!

Edit: you wanted 3D, didn’t you? I’ve only got one pair of those red/blue glasses though. 🙂

I just wanted to get in early!

Anyway, this is a reflective new year’s eve for me. My first as a single parent.

Better times are afoot.

Always look on the bright side of life. (♪Whoo hoo. Whoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo.♬)

I’m in Dallas for New Years. Before the Stars game, I went with my parents to a party that a friend of theirs was hosting. The guy is a billionaire and has an art collection that includes a Monet and three Picassos.

As a very proud Canadian, who was born in Scotland, I yet again feel compelled to say:

Happy Hogmanay, and Lang May Yer Lum Reek: just like last year.

It may be my continuing new years’ tradition.

Happy New Year / Bonne Année, everyone!

Looking forward to many interesting conversations with Cana-Dopers in 2014, from coast to coast to coast.

You guys are an important part of my life and every day I enjoy your witty, thoughtful and occasionally goofy posts!

Oh, and I see it’s called “Canadope Café” instead of “Canadoper Café” this year. I wonder if this is a new tradition I hadn’t heard about?

Thanks **Sunspace**. That literally made me LOL.

ETA: Hey, Leafs and Wings on outdoor ice. Check it out now on our beloved CBC! Largest crowd for an NHL game ever apparently.
