My least favorite day of the year is rapidly approaching, the 365th and final one. Why does it have to come so soon? I was just getting used to writing 2003 on all my bank checks. I'll still be writing 2003 and scratching it out for the next six months. The 31 will be here in a few days but I still don't know what I'm going to do to celebrate.
