A brand new year with the promise of a new beginning. It is funny how one day can be so different from another. Yesterday was so last year and today is what is happening now. I hope everyone had a lovely New Year’s Eve. Mine is usually pretty mild. We normally have a nice dinner and then pretty much sit and do what we always do. A little talk, some iPad time and one hour of a favorite show that has been pre-recorded. We are usually in our reading room (a euphemism for the bedroom) well before midnight. On New Year’s Eve, we don’t make an exception. Of course, we do have to put up with the tourists who think it is legal to shoot off fireworks on the beach (it’s not). So we have an interlude of explosions and idiots yelling from midnight until about one o’clock. Maybe I’m being persnickety but I think the choice of being up for the new year should be mine.
Today’s JohnKu talks about the difference in one day to another. I hope you enjoy it and Happy New Year one more time.

Dallas and I are right with you on those fireworks, John. Seems like Fourth of July should be sufficient for noise-making! Anyway, lovely Johnku and Happy 2016!

In our new community it ain’t fireworks, it’s guns. Last night at midnight it sounded like Yosemite Sam was on a rampage out there!

Happy New Year John. There were a few fireworks going off this side of the pond last night too. Enjoy the American football/gridiron.
