And never brought to mind?

Of course not.

It’s been a turbulent year. We have lost people dear to us, gained new precious ones to look over, and tasted bitter and sweet in our careers and home life. It has, perhaps, been the most life-affecting year of this decade for P and I.

As once written (or interpreted, if you want to be precise) by the gud Rabbie Burns:

“We twa hae run about the braes¹,
and pu’d the gowans² fine;
But we’ve wander’d mony a weary fit³,
sin auld lang syne.”

So, we’ll tak a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.

Raise a dram on 2010 and roll on 2011. We are ready for you.
