happy new year!!!

it's a few minutes to midnight here in Sac.  i can hear fireworks already even tho it is a rainy night.  one more turn around the sun.  & a new one just starting.  like the speaker in the thom gunn poem below says, 'i am not superstitious'.  i'm not either but i will take care to not step on cracks that will break my momma's back!  i don't do resolutions either.  well, perhaps, maybe, i shall endeavor to drink more, eat more, & maybe take up smoking!  

however the new year turns out we are, yes we, all of us, are in it together.  so to that i raise my beer to us all & say HAPPY NEW YEAR!  & also MAKE IT COUNT!

CHEERS!
