Happy New Year

The celebrations are now behind us. We wait now for only the completion of the Rose Bowl. Tomorrow, Saturday we will head South unless the weather is just too stacked against us. I would like to make for Pensacola, but that too has a weather contingency attached to it.



On Christmas day, my brother drove down from Cleveland and we went to our favorite restaurant McCormick & Schmick's. Once again they delivered a magnificent dinner. We went back there a few days ago to get a gift card for some friends, who later suggested that we stop there for dinner after our traditional New Year's Eve movie. That turned out wonderfully. We had a table of 10. I was the only one to order the celebration dinner which came with a flute of champaign. When it came time for the bubbly they served it to all ten of us at the table -- that is really classy.
