Obligatory post about the new year, or happy 2015 y’all!

I used to dream about escaping my ordinary life, but my life was never ordinary. I had simply failed to notice how extraordinary it was.

For last year’s words belong to last year’s language
And next year’s words await another voice.
And to make an end is to make a beginning.
–T.S. Eliot/Little Gidding

I am starting this post well ahead of time because I know what I have going on for the holiday, and it will not be conducive to either intelligent or intelligible posting. I hope there are not too many embarrassing photos. Of me, anyway.

Since I will post this on 1/1, it means that it is now officially a brand new year. 2015 still has the new year smell, doesn’t it? Try not to spill anything on it, and remember to take off your shoes before you walk on it. We won’t be able to get another one for 364 days, so we need to try to make this one last. Let’s try to keep it in good shape so we get another one next year.

What did I do on New Year’s Eve?

Oh. You know. Sent off the old year with friends. There was probably some drinking involved. Maybe some cards. Some of us will need a Bloody Mary or two before we feel quite right this morning. You’ll all understand, I’m sure. Some of you may feel the same way.

Hell, some of you may be right here with me!

Hi.

Bloody Mary or Mimosa?
I recommend a Graymosa. That’s a Mimosa with grapefruit juice instead of OJ. Very tasty.

You’re welcome.

On today’s agenda?
Pajamas. Friends. Football. Food. Boozes.
Ducks at the Rose Bowl at 1400 hours.

We’ll be cheering as hard as we can for our Duckies.

Happy New Year, and Gooooooooo Duckies!!!!
