1.1.11

nope... it's not binary code... well, actually if it is, i don't know it.. it's the date..

between last night and this morning i have determined that...

-i am too old for New Year's Rockin' Eve (NKOTB and BSB appearance notwithstanding)

-i am too sensitive for New Year's Rockin' Eve (i don't care if Dick Clark is an icon and is trying, i am sad that he struggles as he does on national tv)

-i am probably too old to be a reveler (having done a new year's eve in times square... i am content to watch it all from the security and warmth of my livingroom now, with a few crudites and a bottle of prosecco...)

-and when you wake up in the morning after that night... the sun is up as usual, the birds are eating, the coffee is perking, the tea water almost boiling (yes i know i shouldn't boil it **wink**) and a new year, apparenlty, has begun.

I will make the rounds a little later to keep the custom my mother spoke of - that a man entering your house first on new year's day gives your house good luck for the year. But the quandry is.. who will come to our house and shove a man through the doorway first, i ask you?

midnight flames (well after midnight so... hmmm.. i think it counts)




quote for the new year...

I understand you completely!
