OUT WITH THE OLD, IN WITH THE NEW

What can I say about 2008? It will certainly not go down as a stellar year for anyone that I know. The economy tanked, financial institutions were given billions of dollars but won't tell what they did with all of that cash.

As always, I look to the new year with hope. Hope that my family and friends will stay healthy and employed. Hope that either myself or someone close to me will win the lottery. Well, a person can dream, can't they?

I am not going to make any predictions myself so if anyone wants to make a few predictions about New Albany or the country, or the world for that matter please do so.

HAPPY NEW YEAR, NEW ALBANY!!
