January is always a strange month.  They all are in their own ways, but I've lived through enough of them now to realise there's one consistent feature in January.

The first few days seem to crawl by, and then, suddenly it's the middle of the month.  It's as if a whole week has been surgically removed from the calendar.

I've no idea where they hide it, and I doubt very much if I can get a refund.
