nostatic at all...

They say every moment is a fresh start. It can be tricky to determine that from moment to moment, what exactly is fresh, and where the changes occur. I guess that's one reason we tend to mark things in years...birthdays, new years (US and Chinese), anniversaries, etc. And often the odd events end up prompting the "what was last year like?" But maybe the more important question is, "what is today like?"
