Since it's been so long...things have been getting crazy, so now I relax with the last of the East Timor from Anodyne & Roast while sitting in bed with my favorite.

Notable History

As most of you are aware its a new year; yet another year to try some thing and call it new, just 'cause...Here are some things to reflect on and remind you of things past.

January 1
The first day of the year in the Gregorian calendar.
This year there are 365 days and counting. (364 because I'm writing this on the 2nd)
Most western European countries changed the start of the year to January 1 before they adopted the Gregorian calendar. For example, Scotland changed the start of the Scottish New Year to January 1 in 1600. England, Ireland and the British colonies changed the start of the year to January 1 in 1752. Later that year in September, the Gregorian calendar was introduced throughout Britain and the British colonies. These two reforms were implemented by the Calendar (New Style) Act 1750.
January 1 became the official start of the year as follows:

• 1522 The Republic of Venice
• 1544 Holy Roman Empire (Germany)
• 1556 Spain, Portugal
• 1559 Prussia, Sweden
• 1564 France
• 1576 Southern Netherlands
• 1579 Lorraine
• 1583 United Provinces of the Netherlands (northern)
• 1600 Scotland
• 1700 Russia
• 1721 Tuscany
• 1752 Great Britain (excluding Scotland) and its colonies
