goodbye, millennium!

Toronto, 2000.12.26

Well, this has been a great year, and now it's about over. It's been a particularly good Christmas. Hooray! It almost goes without saying that we've had yet another snowstorm, and another 5-10cm of snow for our visit to Ontario. It's still -18o C, despite the snow fall. Incredible.

I suspect I may be getting excited about returning to Sydney. This new millennium is going to be amazing.

[edit: 2021.08.03. "Amazing"? Not quite, but I'll give it "interesting". You'll have a rough patch from here, kiddo, but then later you become a dad.]

rand()m quote

Society is indeed a contract... [the state] is a partnership in all science; a partnership in all art; a partnership in every virtue, and in all perfection. As the ends of such a partnership cannot be obtained in many generations, it becomes a partnership not only between those who are living, but between those who are living, those who are dead, and those who are to be born.

—Edmund Burke
