Astronomically speaking. : ) It was marked by the NAI, who were pretty good astronomers, and that is when the new year was "timed" for them. It was just an observation about how silly people are about being politically correct, and no offense was intended. Something really wonderful happened after my last post, and I couldn't wait to tell you about it. As most of you know, I've been having a Blue Christmas, missing my Dad, who passed away in September. As I was preparing to leave for a family gathering tonight, I discovered this orchid blooming. It never bloomed for me before. Why was I so excited and pleased? Well, it's called a "Blue Angel". Do you think my Dad is wishing me a Merry Christmas? I do! : ) Wonderful timing! Merry Christmas! Happy Hanakkuh, Happy New Year, Happy Kwaanza! Happy Days! WIB, SW |
