Assuming this article is true, and that these photos aren’t just me in a gorilla suit, I can’t think of a better way to wish you all a happy new year. May it be full of Daring Adventures and, as Karen Gersch (who sent me this) wrote, Unexpected Grace. A happy and well balanced new year to all!
Here I go again with another old-man story (stop rolling your eyes):
