Off to a slow start, partly due to John's second hip surgery (hip, hip HURRAH; he behaved this time around). But also January typically IS a let down from the Holidays. It also didn't help tHAT The African American Museum changed its January opening to the summer; we planned to be there.
Couldn't let the year start without SOMETHING hat-pin-ing!
