>If y'all hurry up and get it over with types had just waited a year

Celebrating is one of my hobbies. I celebrate the opening of a door, if I get chance - if you are taking the orders - mine's a large one!

I have taken the precaution of hedging my bets (a little like my attitude to religion). I celebrated the dawn of 2000 in the "Old World" and will celebrate the dawn of 2001 in the "New World" and will have wine to match! This will give me an extra five hours in the Year 2000 and I will dedicate these five hours (spread over the whole year, you understand) to fine friends and fine wine. As many of my friends are female this could be construed as wine, women and song but I wouldn't say that. As I said, hedging my bets, I will call the whole period "my Millennium celebrations"!
