Tonight, I will do my yearly routine out on my front porch: ring a big brass bell that was my mother’s, followed by the first four notes of “O Canada” at high volume, played on my Casio keyboard’s Synth-brass setting (sounds just like the air horns that play every noon hour on top of Canada Place in Vancouver) and then a chorus of Auld Lang Syne. I warned my new next-door neighbours that moved in this summer.
And my niece will be playing the same on her bagpipes over at her place.

Happy New Year, Amanda! To all three of you.

I really thought Young Amanda was going somewhere completely different for a moment.

Trust me, Amanda — there’ll be lots of “ridiculousness” in the coming year — and for three years after that — and very few will be laughing…
