new year's eve

I'm trying to think of something witty and/or profound to say about the way time passes us by, and my how the years fly leaving us blinking at each other owlishly in their wake. Unfortunately, my brain is currently fizzled to non-existence.

So, as I practice my yearly tradition of closeting myself inside our room with loud music on (to escape the noise of firecrackers and general merry-making going on at the pool deck, because, dang it, I don't want to experience an asthma attack), I would like to wish you all a

VERY HAPPY NEW YEAR!
