You’re likely preparing for your New Year’s Eve celebrations, but I wanted to take a quick second to thank all of you for a wonderful and momentous year. I appreciate every comment, tip, critique, friendly email, irate email, submission for Overheard in D.C., tweet, and Facebook like that you’ve provided us with in 2012, and I promise to provide more (and better) content throughout 2013. Stay safe out there, and we’ll be back at it on Wednesday.
