Happy New Year!

Wow – another year come and gone!

2014 was a big year for me. There were some very real challenges to overcome, but also a lot of victories, and some incredible moments of joy. Unfortunately, due to administrative error, I did not actually observe 2014 last year; instead, I celebrated 2003, which I could charitably describe as “middling”. In my household 2014 was observed from March 23, 2007, until the same date the following year (which was 2002, for related reasons).

I wanted to tell you all how optimistic I am about the projects I have planned for 2015, but you know, I actually lived through 2015 twice during the mid ’90’s, and so I can only offer you all the following advice, with some authority: “don’t bother”.

That said, and in earnest, I’d like to wish you all a very happy new year, a year of joy and laughter and with a duration exceeding no more than 365 days, because the related paperwork becomes extremely difficult to deal with otherwise.
