You will always have happy years if you go on like that.
I went to a shared dinner with Italian friends, smaller this year at 15
attendees, and brought as asked an American pie. They like to sing "Bye Bye
Miss American Pie" I think. The lentils for wealth were superb last night,
as was everything else. Toasts at 12, fireworks as far as you could see
outside in the bitter cold. Another wondeful evening to begin another
wonderful year.
