Happy Rosh Hashanah!
It's not "officially" the year 5763 until sundown, but who cares.
So go on. Blow a shofar.
I said shofar. Leave the chauffeur alone. (Unless he asks nicely and tips generously.)
Actually ... come to think of it, if he looks like this, I won't blame you if you ditch that horn thing.
(After all, Rosh Hashanah, in Hebrew, literally means "head of the year".)
L'chaim! L'shanah tovah!

Damn! It's going to be 6 months before I stop writing "5762" on my checks.

Any well-wishing is fine. I'm not picky when it comes to good cheer!
