This last day of the year has been quiet and unproductive. Ha. Sometimes I focus so much on productivity that Sam includes wishes for a productive day when he's saying grace. On a good note, I did complete every item on my (short) to-do list yesterday. I think that's part of why today is lame: I overdid the attack on the dust bunnies and today my sinuses ached. After hot beverages and naps, I'm now feeling better and contemplating the best way to redeem the day. Going out for dinner? A trip to Wal-Mart to stock up on bins to better organize my stuff? Watching a DVD? Finally downloading the numerous pictures trapped on my camera?
I'm not sure when I stopped really celebrating the start of the Gregorian New Year, but I'll be surprised if I'm up at midnight. I think because the weather this time of year is not all that fantastic, I'm not very motivated to go out anywhere. We had thought about going to see the lighting of the bonfires, but we seem to have lost our momentum on that front. They were supposed to have been lit on Christmas Eve, to guide Papa Noel up the river, but the weather did not lend itself to such. Maybe next year.

And in response to a post of yours from a couple weeks ago, how are you liking "Kaffir Boy"? I actually bought a few books pertaining to SA and this was one of them.

That said... Happy 2007, Shok!
