				| Dear Hod, 
 To answer your question, yes, you are. But the rest of us are learning a lot from you in the social skills area, so don't despair.
 
 Oh, and hope you have a great new year, too.
   
 
 Regards,
 John

				| I was going to wait for midnight , when the convention tells us the new day and the New Year begins. 
 Happy New Year to all of you - even to Hod.

				| It was nearly midnight my time when I posted, but I still remembered, and it's the thought that counts. Even grahamb appeared, although I feared some reference to a long defunct calendar pointing out that new year was still a fortnight away. |  |

				| Happy New Year, everybody!  I wish you all a good year personally, and on the national and global scale, may our leaders and politicians all experience a bout of common sense and good judgement this year.   (Hard  as that might be to imagine!)  |  |

				| And let's not forget - in 2016, we all get one more day to screw it up. 
 Leap to it!

 Or make it better!
   
 Or just practice our social skills until we catch up with Hod!
