And on the future, which of course is what the New Year is all about. Eloquent as always...
History has its own peculiar momentum; clouds may be gathering now that won’t break until 05 or beyond. Or everything could change in a day. If we know anything now, it’s that any date can be burned into our memories forevermore – 9/11, 2/07, 5/25, 12/31. But we set this aside tonight. We greet the new year as though we're guaranteed its full measure. Of course we're not - and that's all the more reason to put on silly hats and pound hooch and welcome the new year with whoops and cheers and hope. Why not?
And to freely borrow—or plagiarize, if we must use ugly terms—a very happy interstitial alcoholic sherbet to each and every one of you.
