Karin and I were disturbed...  It was like a 24 hour global Olympic
Opening Ceremony.  Another one of *thewse* coming up this summer? 
Mercy.

Opened a bottle of Piper (cheers!) and settled in for a nice warm
marathon of "The Singing Detective" after a day of tag-team child
wrangling and painting upstairs.  Alternate choice: the great "Twelve
Monkeys".  Enjoyed one another's company.  At twelve-oh-two imprecisely
a child began to parade up and down the street blowing one of those
long red plastic horns sold at sporting events, bleat mournfully into
the cold clear air a single repetitive tone.  It sounded like a shofar,
and we thought, with some glee: the trump of doom!

Happy New Year all!
Mark
