Start of the consular year
As many others, last night I celebrated the start of the consular year. Today the Roman consuls would have entered their offices, had the Roman Empire still existed. Not sure why we still celebrate that, but I guess we have to start our years somewhere.
My year starts with a big headache, as is the norm for alcohol-consuming societies around the world. I wish everybody a headache-free 2009! It’s already too late for me…
