Three years running. Why, God, why. I won't do it again except under duress. At least I can drown my sorrows in beignets. I’m at the AHA right now. Three years running. Why, God, why.

(I can't remember the last AHA I attended. I believe it was in the service of interviewing job candidates. 2003 in Chicago?) And jackyt: I like your notion of the Baker's Dozen year. Why not be generous? It beats the alternative, and it's usually the right thing to do, although I will admit that it's not *always* my first impulse. . .

We celebrated by making samosas on New Years Eve and then deep frying everything we can get our hands on before the peanut oil gives up. (Tonight... Apple Fritters!) I wish everyone good health and happiness in the year to come! and I resolve to go to the AHA in 2014. Happy (belated) 2013 Historiann and Co!

I'm only going to give my eyeballs/attention to people and blogs that exhibit a propensity for same, and will not support, in any way, the mean-spirited ones who build themselves up by tearing others down. Anyone who thinks a valid argument is "you're stupid" is definitely off the list! Wishing you all good health, good challenges and good times, the whole year through!

One child and I made it up to midnight so we went outside and blew something called an "elephant horn." It sounds unwell but is loud. (The children who live here have managed to stop blowing it just in the nick of time every time a parent as been <i>this close</i> to confiscating the thing.) After that we discussed the difference between luck and practice/work and drifted off to sleep. Happy New Year!
