Today - tonight, actually - marks the beginning of Rosh Hashana, the Jewish New Year. It is a celebratory time, in which according to Jewish scripture, the "book of life" is opened for the upcoming year. It is closed on Yom Kippur, our most solemn holiday, which occurs in 10 days.
I reflect back on this past year which has certainly had its fill of ups and downs -- but mostly ups -- and I hope that most importantly, moving forward we all have our health. At the end of the day, there's no question that health and family are the two most important things in life. Everything else is trivial.
So as we move forward to the New Year, I wish you all -- Jewish and non-Jewish friends alike, a shana tova -- Happy New Year. May all of you and your familes have peace, health and happiness and may you all be inscribed in the book of life.
(Man, did I sound like a rabbi there or what? Sorry if that came across as remotely "preachy")

Dude, I'm up in CO right now, gonna ride with YB Dave later. We'll be sputtering, since we'll be riding at 8000' coming from sea level. But it will be a good kind of pain.
I'm really impressed with the response to your Thyca idea. Great work, everyone. Especially my main boy Diamond Bill.
Yo, show us the money!
Oh, and a big L'shana Tova to all my jewy jewboys (especially the irish jew Steve O'Greenbaum) from your main goy Payro.
