prev auld lang syne
next New Year's Eve. Have barely gotten used to the novelty of writing '00' on my checks. Each year goes by faster than the last. At this rate, I'll be dead of old age by Labor Day. If I were an ancient Aztec, I'd be dead by now. You could make a bumper sticker out of that. We were maybe going to go see Southern Culture in L.A. for New Year's, but instead will celebrate around dinnertime with seven young children and one befuddled single mother of four. My mother isn't available to babysit the way she used to be, so one of these days I'll have to get around to finding an actual babysitter. I never really look but eventually hope to stumble across the perfect person. Like many modern mothers (even us incompetent ones), I'm wary of babysitters, especially those I can afford.
