New Year's Eve

2:30 am
South Shore

Once more into the breach at dear Vlindinhauer's. This time celebrating the (Gregorian) completion of 2006 and commencement of 2007.

There was a wonderful dinner, prepared by M, Vlindinhauer's wife, with help from Vlindinhauer himself. There were musical selections, including music made up on the spot, and karaoke.

After midnight, we sang Auld Lang Syne, toasted the New Year, and set off firecrackers on the other side of the sea wall. We read the grounds from our Turkish coffees. And we read the fortunes and wise sayings written on the gift-scrolls we each received with our entres.

Much, but not all of this, was documented. And there was a wonderful dinner.

This was my first time being present in a place where karaoke was occurring.

Lots of fun...


Resolutions for 2007:

Cease all current uranium enrichment.
Forgive those who enrich uranium against me.
Be less autistic.
Be kind.

Happy New Year!
