Tonight, we will celebrate the passing of this Year of Our Lard, 2002. Some of us will drink too much and observe the New Year's festivities in the morgue, filled with auto parts  . Others will, at the stroke of midnight, discharge a firearm, wish '03 better luck than it's wretched predessor, and go to bed hopeful and optomistic  . Still others, evil and cynical, old curmudgeons that they are (myself, for example), will ignore the whole freakin' thing  .
However you bring it down, everyone have a safe if not sane, New Year's debauchery. 
Wishing the best to all!

I think I'm going to give up using socially defined time standards from here on.
And, NO, it has NOTHING to do with the fact I'm turning 30 in 2003.

Well, actually, f, I'll be celebrating the coming of the year two thousand and three. I like the future a little better...
Anyway, I'll probably spend the midnight hour atop the "great wall" or out on the levee watching the stars, (if the clouds go away), with a young woman who is not my wife, as we each wish that my wife was here to share this moment with us.
The local fireworks displays and the bonfires on the river will be finished by ten o'clock. That gives most a couple of hours to consume copious amounts of alcohol. Other celebrants will be enjoying their little rockets, and dancing in the streets. All in all, I expect another happy New Years celebration at the bottom of the Atchafalaya Basin.
Actually, I expect this to be a better New years Day. My wife will be off work, and we can get up early, visit the inlaws, and eat a traditional New years Dinner as we watch the LSU Tigers try to make a decent showing in the Cotton Bowl.
It may not sound like much, but it doesn't take much to make us happy. I wish the same for everyone else. |

| My wife and I just returned home from visiting out newest (2 week old) grandson. Here's hoping that 2003 is a kind and fulfilling year to theist and atheist alike. |
