Happy new year, everybody. I’m grateful to be kept in good company by fellow bloggers like you, during these past few months. Now, I look forward to an even more meaningful interaction this year.
Meanwhile, I’d like to start us all with a little vintage U2 action, if I may. This video (and song) may not be the most uplifting pick for the occasion, I know; yet the snow and the deafening silence couldn’t make it any more real and honest, in my case. Though, more importantly, it ROCKS!
Today is, indeed, very different from the firecracker noise and smoke-filled skies, I’m so used to. No doubt about it, all is quiet on new year’s day. At least, in my neck of the woods, it is.
However, not to burst Bono’s bubble… some things do change, apparently.

God bless you, Chris… perfect way to start the year (with U2 that is) – heck, it’s good to start anyday with U2…
It’s quiet in the southern tier this morning as well…
One of the best U2 songs ever. I play it every New Year’s Day!
