sufficient champagne
To a few people in particular I wish not even so much a happy new year as a moment of blissful relief watching the old one vanish. 2008 played rough and not particularly fair with a number of my own, so to 2008: begone already. Now is the time for a moment of optimism that will dry up in a week, so it really ought to be savored! Me, I've ironed my shirt and practiced my aria (Chaikovsky would really not wish to claim it as his own once I'm done with it) and am ready for the festivities. So if 2008 was a fine year for you, I wish you another, and if it was a horror, join me in thinking of it no more. To everyone, though: rest for the weary, fulfillment, inspiration, health...

Nice post, Maury. It's been a long while since I stumbled upon your blog...
A happy New Year to you, too.

Best wishes or a healthy, happy 2009, Maury. As ever, you are a pleasure to read.
MFI continues to be a delight throughout these turbulent times. Thank you and all the best in the new year.
Recalling earlier sartorial commentary, I'm curious if the iron was a holiday gift? :)
A belated Happy New Year from me too. This blog gave me some of my best laughs of 2008.
Onegin aria? Surely this is why YouTube was invented.
