PF 2003


For those not familiar with this abbreviation, PF in this context does not refer to:

+ Page fault, a type of error in computer programming;
+ Power factor, or cos phi, of an AC electric power system;
+ Purple fringing, a type of chromatic aberration in + photography;
+ Pheasants Forever, a non-profit habitat conservation organization;
+ Polar front;
+ PF Flyers, a brand of shoes;
+ Project Fanboy, a comic book news web site; or
+ Plantar fasciitis, an inflammatory injury in the midfoot.

But it does refer to Pour féliciter, from French For luck, used traditionally on New Year's cards.

There you have it. My non-religious yet obscurely spiritual wish for you and all of us.

Plus, may the Kosmos embrace us all and give us love and peace this year and always.
