Always look on the bright side of life

For the last six months — or at least that’s how long it feels like — we’ve been driving with the constant fear of becoming intimately acquainted with a snowbank. In the meantime, snowplow owners have been raking it in. Well, you know what they say: “If life gives you snow, make snowplows.”

An 80-year-old blogger made an apology on her blog after a boost in readership prompted by a story in her local paper. She apologized to doctors, dogs, cats, Pepsi-Cola drivers, people who live in the Arctic and Wal-Mart’s Web site, among others. (We like her already.)

Given her excellent example, The Buzz has a few apologies of its own. We humbly apologize to Canadians, Subaru drivers, the Big Three, Keanu Reeves, Microsoft, the Mariners, the Seahawks and any public official who has been arrested in an airport restroom.

We resolve to look on the bright side. Today we look ahead to 2009, which will be a year of challenges.

On the bright side, though, we now know we can survive snowmageddon, so budget brawls and traffic crawls should be no big thing.
