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!

May 5763 be the year that all things good come your way.
