The Unholiday
January 1, 2008 in Blogs
It is new year’s day. I would like to wish all of you a happy new year, but it occurs to me to wonder: Who actually celebrates New Year’s Day? All of our celebrations occurred last night, but on any other day of the year I’d have said that the first hour after midnight, and indeed all the time until I went to bed, was still part of the previous day. Today’s festivities include sleeping late and eating leftovers, and hoping we can get everyone’s biological clocks turned back for the resumption of normal activities tomorrow.
As for progress reports, I pushed to finish my work last night, and to clean up the kitchen, and to get to bed. I’m back; that’s progress.
Happy New Year, everyone. It is now 2008.
