(...or does it mean that we should forget about all the old people with whom we are acquainted?)
You know, some mornings, a cup of tea is just a cup of tea. But SOME mornings...Ahhh, some sort of magical chemical reaction occurs in that mug that makes it special.
This morning, after drinking my tea and eating a particularly delicious Karen-made oatmeal cookie, I decided to research that enigmatic song that no one seems to know anything about: "Auld Lang Syne"
Here is what I found out (according to the ever unreliable Wikipedia):
- It is a Scottish folk song
- "Auld Lang Syne" means..."old long since" or "for old time's sake" or "long, long ago" or "days gone by" or "let's just say we're doing it for a pal in the army" (which is not good, but it's a reason...)
- It was featured in a Bugs Bunny cartoon:
...And that's all I care to tell you about that.
Yes I did have a cookie for breakfast.
