Okay, if any of you have been wondering: nay, my auld acquaintances ha' nae been forgot* since last year, so I'm checking in with Wyckoff's teens with best wishes for an unforgettable 2009, as we all attempt to forget whatever we wish to forget about 2008 (or remember, if you are of that ilk!)

So.....start the New Year right by attending either the Teen Writing Group (1/20/09) or the Book Discussion (1/27/09--books available now!) and 'get on the good foot' ** for the New Year!!

*...just a little fractured Scots meaning 'I haven't forgotten my old friends,' a variation on the lyrics to AULD LANG SYNE, the universal New Years Eve celebratory song, played as 12:01 strikes and Babs' birthday goes away for another year (yay!) http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=acxnmaVTlZA&eurl=http://www.webtvhub.com/auld-lang-syne-lyrics-video-sing-along-to-a-classic-new-years-eve-song/

**...as the estimable Mr. James Brown, King of Soul, as been known to sing! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZUat-0pTiAk

PS: Many thanks to Trevor for his great New Year graphic (no, I do not call myself "Trevor" these days!)
