Happy New Year - Superman-uary

Happy New Year!

HAPPY NEW YEAR! 

It's a New(ish) Year, 2025.  Sure, it's week-and-a-half old, but it still has that New Year's smell.  Mostly.

Just a real quick note to thank everybody who stops by to look at my meager Blog site (probably more akin to rubber-necking at a 20 car pile-up on the I-90, but I'll still take it!), and a special shout out to the people who have graciously been follow my work.  It's mind-boggling to me that over the past 13 years I've been doing this, one-third-of-a-million people have stopped on by and taken a gander (it's 91 people shy of 333,333 as I write this, so it should be over that number by the morning).  It's all very humbling and a heartfelt thank you to all: Past, Present, and Future!

With the New Year, I'm kinda hoping to do a few larger projects here on this Blog, along with some of the usual shenanigans.  So, stay tuned and check back often.  Not too often, of course, we don't wanna be weird about it...  Y'know, casual often.

I know I'm a little late to this party (hey, I've been busy with other projects), but I must have watched the James Gunn "Superman" Teaser Trailer at least 50 times so far (no exaggeration, alas).  It is probably my most anticipated movie of the year, to be honest.  In spite of it showing Supes just getting wrecked every time he's on screen, it did give me something missing from the more recent incarnations of Superman on the screen: Hope.

Speaking of, here's to hoping things go well for everyone this year.  As I mentioned, I have a few big things I wanna try, so you know I've got the New Year's Delusions of Grandeur, which I'm keeping right next to my Delusions of Resolutions!

Also: Superman-uary?  Don't worry, I won't try to make that a thing; this was just a one-off.  The next post will be back to our regularly scheduled silliness, Batman-uary style!

Because I was goofing around with a few Apps I hadn't opened in a while, and I did this all on a single layer, I wasn't paying attention and didn't save a "Work in Progress".  Given all the programs it passed through, that would have been a mess to save and show.  I mean a mess worse than usual to save and show.
