Well, as my friend
suaiden likes to say, "It's always midnight somewhere."
Thus, as we await our own moment of New Years here in Saint Petersburg, we can also feel comfort in both celebrating early and later.
We'll see about doing so here every hour when New Years begins from the Asian Pacific Zones and beyond, but I have a feeling that we won't celebrate effectively at each time zone (and remember that some time zones occur at 30 minute intervals as well).
Regardless, I can still wish the world -- and especially my friends --
Happy New Year!!!
Thank you to all of my friends for just being here (and being my friends).
