New Year around the world
Well, 2013 is already nearly an hour old in Sydney, and we celebrated 25 minutes ago in Adelaide. So I thought I would get in early before the rest of the world.

The New Year obviously doesn't come in until it's 2013 in UTC. Which happens in about three and a half hours.
I suppose that I might be a bit biased since I live in a time zone that is essentially UTC in winter. |

6.5 hours til Midnight here in SE Michigan. We're preparing for my husband's annual big Bash... most of the cooking, except last minute stuff, is done, so it's just stalling time until it's time to cook the pasta and ham.
and I made - just barely - my goal of 250 books this year. |
