                                Happy New Year

At some arbitrary point in time we slip into a new year [1] and thus ends the
obligatory “See you next year!” jokes for approximately 360 days.

We also, at this arbitrary point in time, make promises to ourselves to
improve this, change that, and to stop doing the other. Such self dellusion
usually ends in another 40 days or so as time marches on.

We also hope that the following 365 days, six hours, mine minutes and nine
seconds (or 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds, or 365 days, six
hours, 13 minutes and 52 seconds, depending upon how one defines the term
“year”) will be much better than the previous 365 days, six hours, mine
minutes and nine seconds (or 365 days, five hours, 48 minutes and 45 seconds,
or 365 days, six hours, 13 minutes and 52 seconds, depending upon how one
defines the term “year”).

So much hopes and dreams and schemes pinned on the flipping of a single
second at some arbitrary point in time.

Anyway …

HAPPY NEW YEAR!
