watching: college basketball (Tennessee at Memphis)
The weather in Florida was so much better.

Happy New Year, Moscow! (It's 12:00 am somewhere. Or it was when I wrote that.)

I realized I should probably know the words to this so I paid a visit to Wikipedia:
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind ?
Should old acquaintance be forgot,
and days of old lang syne ?
CHORUS:
For auld lang syne, my dear,
for auld lang syne,
we'll take a cup of kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
And surely you’ll buy your pint cup !
and surely I’ll buy mine !
And we'll take a cup o’ kindness yet,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have run about the slopes,
and picked the daisies fine ;
But we’ve wandered many a weary foot,
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
We two have paddled in the stream,
from morning sun till dine† ;
But seas between us broad have roared
since auld lang syne.
CHORUS
And there’s a hand my trusty friend !
And give us a hand o’ thine !
And we’ll take a right good-will draught,
for auld lang syne.
CHORUS
...and there ya go.

Make sure you people get it right: It's Twenty-Ten ... Not Two Thousand-Ten. Nobody ever talks about George Orwell's classic One Thousand Nine Hundred Eighty-Four. And I sure hope you clowns aren't saying "two thousand forty-three" 33 years from now. Lose the "two thousand" now before it's too late. I mean it.

Speaking of "Auld Lang Syne", Dan Fogelberg's "Same Old Lang Syne" is a really good song.

A few more pictures from Florida:
Birds.
St. Augustine.
Kennedy Space Center. My ride.

Party at Nick and Jorge's tonight. Dinner first if the fancy wife ever decides where.

The best thing about our near-paperless monetary system is that nobody writes checks anymore so they won't be writing 2009 on them for the next 2 months and then mentioning it like it's interesting.
