Thanks for posting this RAL. The sodden nature of a traditional New Years Eve does give sober folks a moment to ponder.
I like the idea of getting a head start on your new year's resolutions. How often in life do you really get a head start . . . . not that it is a race but if we believe in anything as artificial and man made as the new year, why not believe in getting a "head start" on a new years resolution.
I have been doing lots of pushups today in the hopes of starting the new year with some sore muscles rather than a sore head.
I'm still a few hours out on New Years as I'm in the Western US.
