End-of-the-Year Quote

"The old year slipped away, lamented by no one."

1229021745This quote comes from Rick Atkinson's book, The Day of Battle: The War in Sicily and Italy, 1943-1944. It succinctly captures the sentiments of year that one would prefer to forget than review. It happens. You move on.
