I just wanted to take a brief moment to wish everyone a happy (whatever that means to YOU) new year. Been kind of a weird year for me, especially the last couple of months w/ the first and second surgeries etc. But as I came to after the second one - and I admit to leaning a little to the cheesy side a bit - I really did rediscover the things I am grateful for and Dawg Nation is one of those things. Nine times out of ten when I come to this board, I find something that makes me smile or laugh. Oddly, since leaving the U.S., I've followed the Dawgs in a much more intense way than I did when I was stateside. I attribute that to taking things for granted. But now that I live overseas, I don't. The board - and the Dawg Nation in general - has kept me grounded and, during those times when I'm feeling a little homesick, plugs me back into my old life and represents continuity. So, thanks to everyone for contributing to the conversation(s) and best wishes for 2019.
