2:30 a.m. and I'm finally home from what turned out to be a very nice celebration. We played some games, had some chocolate fondu, watched the West coast celebrations at midnight and then watched Lord of the Dance on KQED to the tune of various disco tracks (muted the tv and turned on the stereo). All in all, I'm glad I went.

I hope everyone had (or is having) a fun and SAFE New Year's celebration and that the coming year turns out better than the last.

G'night, and Happy New Year.
