The party has started
A new year, where I will be a captive audience for a year-long festival of navel-gazing. The city is four hundred years old; renovations are welcome. Seriously though, we’re off on a spending spree that will be one for the history books. Unlike the rest of the known world, where people have managed to keep house for thousands of years, the New World has an abbreviated memory. Only those who sailed in with canvas sails can claim to have done anything memorable, and this city holds the record for constant settlement by people from a neighbouring continent (deliberate poke at the revisionists of a place near Jamesville, or James City or James Town, or something similar… Wiki left me confused as to the real story).
