A Pye Nou Ye!
Wi, Nou passe neuf ane a pye!

No, seriously, happy new year. While eating soup joumou I recalled the story 
from Guy Antoine about how 'happy new year' became 'a pye nou ye'.

There was a story on NPR's 'the world' about soup joumou. We heard it while in 
the car carrying a big bowl of soup joumou to go visiting friends on new years 
day.

Ah, the days of discussing soup recipes and a pye nou ye stories on the corbett 
village mailing list are years gone now, sadly. We used to be a joyous village, 
just as Hayti used to be.
