I'm going to save this post to explain to people why I go to bed at 10pm every Dec 31st. I can't help but wonder what the world would be like without any calendar model - just day and night and seasons.

And don't forget Moon and zodiac. I agree with you, calendars and clocks were curses inflicted on humanity by raging aliens. We might be much more in tune with the Universe around us without them.

I so agree, and don't forget the ear plugs or no sleep for me!

All I need is a 2x4 to the occipital ridge and I'm out like a light till dawn.

Just can't escape those pesky Roman's.

They do keep coming back like a bad case of fleas.

Hopefully your mind wins the race!

So far. (knocking blocks)

And a happy (multiple) new year to you to Mr. Farside. Looking forward to many more of your literary ramblings.

Philosophically speaking, every day is a new year, right? Thank you, kind sir. I look forward to having you around and sharing your thoughts with us for many years to come. I promise I will keep rambling. That part can't be helped.

Ah, the Scotsman's lament. Give a little hair of the dog. That'll fix you right.

You are the cutest thing, Mr. Farside: smart, clever, and very funny. Many blessings on you and the Farside family in 2026. I checked out the link for I, Claudius. The voice over suggested that the Romans (always the Romans) "put the nasty in dynasty." Ha!!

From you high praise, my dear. Thank you and many blessings on you and your'n, as well. You bring light to our FarSidedness. If you watch "I, Claudius," let me know. I think you'll be hooked from the first episode. I first watched it as a Latin class assignment back in high school, sometime during the Neolithic period. It's now an annual ritual, since I bought the disks 25 years ago. Enjoy!

No wonder your mind is on the far side!

I've been trying to catch up with my mind most of my life.

Just another reason to get drunk dumb and stupid!

You need a reason? I just need to come to from the last one. :)
