We’re having a nice quiet New Year’s Day here, with traditional Korean duk mandu gook, a beef broth soup with dumplings and sliced rice cake. The custom is that you are one year older when you have duk mandu gook on New Year’s Day. I’m not totally sure about that part, but in any case we usually have soup on New Year’s Day.

I also have some more recent New Year’s traditions, such as cleaning out my e-mail inbox and archiving the previous year’s data, although I’ve mostly managed to take a break from computers during vacation. Outside it’s been wet and windy, making it a good day to stay indoors.

In contrast, my friend Andy has had a more exciting weekend, in which the latest round of storms here in the Bay Area managed to uproot a huge tree onto his house. Fortunately no one was hurt, and he has an amazing set of photos.

Wow!

Happy New Year!
