Today was the last day of the year. We had a nice party at Samantha's house with oysters, foie gras, and lots of amazing nibbles prepared by Sami. And thus we end 2018 and start 2019 which means we have to remember to change the year when we write checks. It strange that so many expectations and resolutions are carried by this simple change of date. The 31st doesn't even have any kind of theological, astronomical or climatological significance. Nothing happens on the last calendar day of the year that could warrant all this effort. Maybe we should rethink this holiday and move it to the summer instead. We already have xmas in December so we don't need another holiday that month. I think the 21st of June is a better candidate. Its the longest day of the year (ideal for partying) its hot (so we can do it outside) and it signals the transition from spring to summer, seems much more appropriate than a cold boring day in winter.
Any way Happy New Year to all my readers. 2019 will surpass your expectations especially if you have none.
