Yes I am that old and if you recognize the reference, you are as well!

Hopefully next year will ease up on you guys as the level of crazy should start to decrease in February.

Thanks for putting up with us and our moments of insanity.

Grumble, grumble something Brexit.

Grumble, grumble something COVID.

Grumble, grumble something being reminded how old I am.

Happy 2021, and may you get a break from Summer breaks and myriads of NSG antics!

What does it say that I remembered Linc, Julie, and Pete without having to look them up?

It's a day like any other. Flipping a calendar page doesn't make me feel renewed.

Bah Humbug.

I for one, hope that everyone will start to calm down as the vaccines get distributed to everyone.

Pffft ... I'll be 17,270 in less than six months. That's ancient.

I concur. Daylight Savings Time has more of an effect on me that New Years does. I just have to remember to change the number at the end of the date.

Now stop lying about your age, Farn. We both know you're 17,272.

What did you do for 17+ millenniums? A good 99.8% of it without internet.

Eat, sleep, hunt, grow things, travel (really long walks), make things ... did I mention eating? Honestly, you aren't aware of time when you have only general ways of measuring it. (I'm reminded of L. Sprague de Camp's Lest Darkness Fall, where Martin Padway, an American archaeologist transported back in time to 535 AD, is explaining his watch to someone. The other person says, "But ... why would you want have an hour divided into 60 parts?") I only know how old I am because the Family got together in 1759 and went through memories and documents and came up with numbers. It was a fun six months.

If you're reminded of de Camp, yeah, you're old.

I laid waste to the steppes, and left pyramids of the bones of my enemies in my wake.

It passed the time.
