We're excited about 2016!

We've included some details about our mascot, the Tanuki,
a raccoon-dog from Japan.
Sometimes our mascot is confused for a fox.
But we think [2016](http://nymag.com/following/2016/01/everyones-crazy-about-this-japanese-raccoon-dog.html)
is
[the year of](http://mashable.com/2016/01/26/raccoon-dog/#5qybqogFK5qz) the
[Tanuki](http://edition.cnn.com/2016/01/27/travel/raccoon-dog-tanuki-named-tanu-feat/)
and hopefully you'll be seeing our mascot around more often!

We feel special, honored, thankful and hope you are ready for even more!
