Nostalgia: remember when the changing of the year meant you would mis-date the checks you wrote for a couple of weeks? Now our electronic payments, and even our clocks, know what the day and time is with us telling them, like we're billionaires or something.
I still wear a lovely mechanical watch that requires winding and resetting the date for months that are shorter than 30 days and it loses about 30 seconds a day so I have to adjust the time every couple of days. I know it's off because of all those fancy-schmancy electronics. A TAG Heuer Carrera if you must know. It was a very expensive gift from a very dear friend. I have been tempted to get a Google watch for activity tracking and such but I would only wear it on my right wrist, the TAG will always retain its place of honor.
Years increment, time passes, memories recede. Some things should endure.
