THE DAWN OF A NEW YEAR

WELCOME TO 2009

On December 31, we had several conversations with friends and family about how to welcome the New Year. We encountered the good-natured comments of some when they heard we would be sound asleep at midnight. I made the point that I would be welcoming the New Year when January 1st dawned rather than in the middle of the night.

The accompanying photograph shows what I saw on an early morning bike ride on the Bicycle Track. For me, this wass the dawning of 2009, a memorable moment.
