It can't be worse than last year, can it?

Well, here we are on the very first day of a brand new year. There has to be something auspicious about that. A good day to purchase lottery tickets with a few number ones perhaps?

I trust everyone is holding up well. It can be a rather gruelling time wearing silly paper hats, pretending to enjoy singing Christmas songs and behaving in a jovial fashion when you probably do not feel jovial at all. I'm beginning to sound like Ebenezer Scrooge, although I'm not sure how "Bah, Humbug!" translates into Thai.
