Happy New Year! I hope I'm not disturbing your resolution-making session or writing too loudly in the case of any hung over readers.
Whether you make resolutions or not, there's something special about the first day of a new year. It's just so hopeful, so full of promise. A 365-day do-over.
Unfortunately, I often dwell on the dark side -- those things I failed to complete or even start last year. But I am getting better mainly because, as I get older, I have a difficult time remembering my to-do list from last January. Three cheers for failing synapses!
The new year does pose a problem. Do I pronounce it two thousand eleven or twenty-eleven?
You'd think that after 10 years, I'd be more comfortable with the two thousands, but they still sound like a mouthful to me.
