I am actually testing this out as I realized I haven't made a new post since being blocked by Bitninja, so I'm hoping this works.

Happy New Year Everyone! :) May you all have a great 2026!

Here goes! :)

We drove through light snow to Ann Arbor, ate dinner at a nice restaurant, then left for home with a huge piece of carrot cake in a to-go box.

Still snowing as we arrived back at the house. Fed the dog. Split and ate the carrot cake, then settled into the couch with our kindles until 15 minutes ago when my wife mentioned it was a minute till midnight.

A minute later, we kissed, said “Happy Year”, then looked over at the dog on the floor who slept through the whole thing.

Fine for her, I guess… she won’t have to remember to write “2026” on the checks.

What's a check?

- those archaic pieces of paper we write on in order to transfer money from our account to a designated party.

Largely supplanted by online payment systems, but still present in a thing called a “checkbook”, which resides in a file drawer and is pulled out and used when, for whatever reason, online payment is not possible or preferred.

I use mine less that once a month, so it will probably be October before I write “2026” automatically.
