Happy new year, vt.buzzards.

We are but hours from the dawn of a new legislative session. We plan to continue vt.buzz in the new year, with missives about the state and national political scene.

Nancy and I just moved into new office digs in Montpelier (we closed our former overly spacious capital bureau at the end of last session and spent the last six months working in the big city). Used more Mr. Clean today than I do in a typical day at work, but it's good to be back in the only state capital without a McDonald's.

If the technology gods are with us tomorrow, we'll share some of the first-day festivities here.
