Vinegar and sugarcane

It's already '2010'? Damn, here I am still trying to slog through the debris and wreckage of 2009. Actually... what's 'a year'? To me, it's the cycle of the seasons rather than a grid of 'holidays', appointments, and payments due. That 'New Year's' thing has more the feeling of standing at the edge of a cliff trying to talk myself into not backing up into my 'old' life, while my spectators are watching and calling for me to jump. You guys go ahead on.....
