Wednesday, January 1, 2014--There is no question about how I will remember the year 2013. I spent more of its days than I hope ever to do again in front of a computer, devising a new electronic architecture for the New Orleans Menu in its fortieth year. Over half of the year found me working on that every single day, sometimes for twelve hours or more.
I am of two non-conflicting minds about that. One is that I should have had someone else do it for me. The other is that, by figuring out all the complexities, I may have exercised and expanded my brain.
I never know what to do on New Year's Day. The football games don't do it for me. So I spent the whole day hacking away at the website. It is getting very close to needing nothing but minor tweaks.
Mary Ann was in the kitchen cooking black-eye peas and onion soup and a few other things. As usual, the cabbage component of our meal for luck was cole slaw.
The lovebirds had a good day. After the rain stopped, they went into the cold to build a bonfire. I hope that becomes a tradition for them, not only because it's lovely but also because I have a lot of fallen branches to burn.
