dear friends
it is new year's already in africa; it is new year's in france and the
continent; it is creeping up to new year's in england in 45 minutes;
then it will march across the ocean, pass cape verde, come over to
brazil, climb up the caribbean past trinidad and tobago to cuba and
puerto rico, reach miami, and then, miraculously, reach all the way to
michigan.
a bit later you folks in chicago will celebrate it; then texas, arizona
and montana and wyoming; and finally friends in california and my son in
washington and colleagues in oregon. and then out to sea for a new year
to reach us all
let's end this year and begin the new one on notes of happiness.
in french we say, bonne année; a good year.
have a good new year all, a very happy and joyful one.
thanks for all your wonderful exchanges--we all will be better for them,
even when we disagree, because we grow as we learn from each other. even
when we don't learn, we are better off talking to each other. it is life.
best wishes
ken
