As I write this there’s just 4 hours and 40 minutes of 2004 left to go.
I feel strangely optimistic about the year that lies ahead. Not for the world at large, obviously: that will most likely continue to go to hell on a hand grenade. However, on a personal level I’m happier and more self-assured about life than I have been since, well… ever, really.
Wherever you are and whatever you’re up to, have a safe and happy new year celebration. I’ll see you in 2005.
