As another year draws to a close.  It's time for all of us to think  of how many of last years New Years Resolutions we were able to keep.   At the end of 2000 I decided to find out the words to the Song Auld Lang Syne and I have posted them at the end of this message if your wondering why it has been so difficult to learn yourself.

2001 has been a hard year for Reesa and I to get thru.  Of the immediate things that come to mind,  is the passing of my cat KC, which happened on October 31st.    K.C. was 19 when she passed and lived in our home for 18 (Chai) of those years
 
 





and of course who can forget what you where personally doing when you heard the news of September 11th 2001.  My family was lucky.  I almost lost a friend whom I had known for 36 years that was in Tower 2 at the time.  A cousin who was working across the street and an Uncle who was in the Subway system below street level that day.

However on a positive note.  Everyone from my family is alive and and healthy at the moment and for that I'm very grateful.

Happy New Year






This year my toast at 12 midnight will still remain the same, as it has been since 1978.   It goes like this, Mr. President, Last year I tried to up my personal income.  This year UP YOURS !
 
 

To all friends and family, Reesa and Stu Kalishman are wishing you all Health and Happiness in the New 2002 Year and may you be able to make your 2002 New Year Resolutions all come true.

Auld Lang Syne

Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And never brought th min'?
Should auld acquaintance be forgot,
And days o'lang syne?

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindeness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae run about the braes;
And pow'w the gowans fine;
But we've wandered mony a weary foot
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

We twa hae paidl't i' the burn,
Frae mornin' sun till dine;
But seas between us braid hae roared
Sin' auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

And here's a hand, my trusty fiere,
And gie's a hand o'thine;
And we'll tak a right guid willie-waught
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For aluld lang syne.

And surely ye'll be your pint-stoup,
And surely I'll be mine,
And we'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.

For auld lang syne, my dear,
For auld lang syne,
We'll tak a cup o'kindness yet,
For auld lang syne.
