If I had to compare 2012 so far with a car race, I'd say it's been like a funny car race. You know the ones I'm talking about? It's the one where it looks like the driver stomps on the gas and the brake all at the same time, and for a moment before the care moves it's just sitting in a huge cloud of smoke. You know something is about to happen, you just have to wait for it.

That's how 2012 has been. It's going to be a huge year! And yet, there are a few details that need to fall in place. And those details mean that for the time being, we've got our foot on the brake with as much pressure as we have the other one on the gas. Smoke, smoke, smoke.

You know the expression, "The anticipation is killing me?" That's how I've felt this year. Thankfully, just like in the funny car race, I'm confident it will only last for a moment before we're heading down the track at blistering speeds.
