The Benificence of Spring is a New Year



Big Frank is seriously wondering why the New Year begins in January. That is just wrong on so many accounts: it is cold then; it is in the middle of the fiscal year; it is in the middle of the school year; it is not the beginning of anything for anybody anywhere. The only thing that begins on January 1 is the new calendar. So Big Frank says, "LETS CHANGE THAT!" Write your congressional representative and your senator. Send an e-mail to President Obama. Contact Oprah! Go door to door in your neighborhood . . . and tell them all that the new year should begin in spring. We all know that March 21 is too early, and it's in the middle of the month - so OK it's astrologically the first day of spring - let that stay. However, the new year will hence start on APRIL 1!

This will allow the new year to coincide with nature's new year (well at least in the northern hemisphere, and let's face it there are more people in the north than the south, so if there were a vote the north would win, so let it be April 1.

So in keeping with that (Big Frank is going to pretend that is has already happened): Happy New Year. Let this new year bring you HEALTH, and HAPPINESS, and MONEY (hey, you need at least enough), and LOVE (yeah, baby), and NEW FRIENDS, and GOOD FOOD, and NEW ADVENTURES, and LOVE (Big Frank knows he already said it, but it's the most important one so it gets invoked twice). HAPPY NEW YEAR

Renee,
Thanks for visiting and the kind words. Yeah, it's like a second start - when you count this as the NEW YEAR!

Vicky,
I imagine you have a whole different perspective "Down Under"! You are lucky! Being her "Up On Top" is tough - despite the position.
