It’s a New Year
Sunday, January 1st, 2017
It's a new year, and with it, all the new and first that come with the year. I remember just before my oldest was born, my wife and I went midnight bowling with some friends, and I remember they had everyone stop bowling as midnight arrived, and we all counted down to the new year - 1994, I'm pretty sure it was.
After that, I was up, and I threw a strike. I'm not all that good a bowler, but that one happened to fall my way. My friend said "You have the first strike of the year."
It's amazing what we remember, and how it effects us long after the moment has passed.
