Well, I wanted to post this at 12:01 am instead of nine and a half hours later, but oh well! I’ll write another entry on how I spent the first hour of the new year. We spent the last few minutes sitting in bed watching the ball in NY’s Times Square drop. Yes, it may not be one’s idea of a party, but to me it really is just another night. We did our own celebration earlier by doing what we’ve done for the last five New Year’s Eves… go to Red Lobster for dinner. We consider it our tradition, and I’m happy to do this for my honey, since I seldom take us there throughout the year (expensive!!!). Yes, I did have a bottle of Guinness!

The year 2005, as I see it, was rife with natural disasters of historic proportions (Katrina, anyone?), shifting views in our government (Bush going from hero to zero), a rollercoaster economy and a battle to bring our troops home from the Middle East where we have overstayed our lukewarm welcome. Let’s pray that 2006 will be a better one, not just for America, but for all nations and peoples.

To our families and friends: Christine and I wish everyone a great New Year’s Day. Cheers!
