I shall, indeed, be napping when the change occurs.

Naps are good. I had a nappy old year and dont anticipate a change. Same to you :)

the extent that we respect his theory that his wife is beautiful and his
children smart.

My two year old is having a nappy new year, but he has made a new year's resolution that 2013 will be the year that he gives them up. (Non-British English speakers might have to look this one up - I know it often causes confusion in the USA...)

For all of us, may 2013 bring happiness and freedom. I'm off to take refuges and precepts at the local monastery in a few minutes, and will include you all in my best wishes.
