Here we go again

December 31st -- the annual day of looking back in review while looking forward in hope. What will the next 366 days bring? (Incidentally, I've always suspected the Founding Fathers played a small joke on us by putting presidential elections in leap years... one additional day to deal with the nonsense!)

Happy New Year!

An optimist stays up until midnight to see the New Year in. A pessimist stays up to make sure the old year leaves.

A New Year's resolution is something that goes in one Year and out the other.

Be at war with your vices;
at peace with your neighbors,
and let every new year find you a better man.
