Here’s to a new and improved year, with less disease, more sanity, and better prospects for democracy. Happy New Year to all.

Um. How could I get some kind of intoxicating beverage here? Perhaps by giving you high five? I don't know much about high signs. I'm better at whispering mysterious words, such as: meilleurs vœux Michael!
'High sign' has been a thing since forever, methinks. Certainly part of our family vocabulary when I was growing up. Never saw 'Our Gang' as we were late in joining the ranks of TV owners.
Tororo, it’s an open bar. We have Bruichladdich, Glenmorangie, Jameson, Linie, a bottle of La Platus Bordeaux, and several bottles of La Vieille Ferme Rosé.
Elaine, here’s a GIF of an Our Gang/Little Rascals high sign.
