The Good Sanity Guide

As New Year's celebrations kick off around the world, I just wanted to:

1) say HAPPY NEW YEAR!!
and 2) share my New Year's Playlist!

In the words of Tony Camargo in El Año Viejo (and I will never tire of this), I hope it brings you:

"a little goat,
a very black little mule,
a very white little mare,
and a nice mother-in-law."

You know - what really counts.
