Happy New Year! Well, I failed to get a seventh day of Christmas carol up yesterday, so I’ll post it late. Actually, not a carol at all, but how can one pass up Auld Lang Syne on New Years Eve? Well, it’s easy — I did it, apparently — but now that it is New Year’s Day, I present what should have been yesterday’s post.

May your year not be one filled with forgetting old acquaintances, but with joy in continued remembrance as you “take a cup ‘o kindness.”

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
and never brought to mind?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o' auld lang syne

--Robert Burns

Oh, and I'll post today's carol tomorrow.
