sagesariasorry I spaced on it yesterday!
Jan. 9:
"How late in the new year can you say 'Happy New Year' and not be concidered weird? Actually the whole thing starts on December 26. If on that day you think you're not going to see someone again until after New year's, you wish them, 'Happy New Year.' And it's generally all right to say 'Happy New Year' right up on through New Year's Day. But after that, it begins to change a little. On January third or forth, for instance, it sill may be acceptable, but only if you haven't seen the person since the first. And then even as late as the sixth or seventh of January, you can still get away with it if you haven't seen the person for a really long time, say, since Christmas. But once it starts gettin' into early April, if you're still running around telling people 'Happy New Year,' you are simply begging to be fitted for one of those garments where the sleeves tie in the back."
Today:
"Children's Hospital in New York is quite an amazing place. On a recent visit, I saw two seven-year-olds performing a kidney transplant."
