My plans are to stay home. Too many drunk crazies on the road at this time of year. However, I think there'll be midnight fireworks at Cal Expo, and I can watch them here from my driveway. If it isn't raining. Otherwise, I'll be watching the New Year celebrations on TV.

There's a feature in my newspaper that I enjoy, in addition to the comics and the crossword puzzle. It's called Cryptoquote, and instead of writing my own greeting, I'm going to give you all the "pleasure" of figuring out today's cryptoquote. Have fun!

Shalom, and QLAAN UYG NYLX !

OK, maybe I should have given a more appropriate hint. The greeting is appropriate to this time of year. Another hint: Y stands for E.
