a tiny elderly couple, dressed in garments reminiscent of the 1920s. Seated on a tete-a-tete, each sipping champagne, their arms intertwined as Glenn Miller played on a Victrola while confetti fell from an invisible ceiling. Noisemakers warbled from unseen corners of the room. The side of the jar reflected a banner declaring a happy New Year. Huzzahs and hoorays echoed and morphed into Auld Lang Syne.

I can still feel the vibrations of the mower handle in my hands and it's been at least an hour since I turned it off. Maybe I should lay down.
