Happy New Year..... where to start?

First, congratulations to all of you who've made it to 2008. It was not an easy year for many of us, and here's hoping that the challenges of the last year have well prepared us to laugh at the challenges of the next.
Second, great gratitude to Jeannie and Aaron for the perfect night in.

Finally, (don't worry, there'll be more. Afterall, it's just the 1st day of the year...) 2007 taught me that if you get the chance to do any of the following, I would generally recommend it:
* watch "Santa Claus Conquers the Martians". A very earnest cult-classic with a crazy-memorable theme song.
* Drink a really good, really expensive bottle of wine
* spend an evening with only natural light (candles, fire, so on)
* ask someone to tell you a story/something that you don't know about him/her
* go to Akumal, Mexico and eat yourself silly
* visit family when they need you. For my part, most the time I probably wasn't able to actually do anything, but I'm hoping they'll remember I was there.
* try Amish food
* start a new business with the blind optimism and reckless confidence that made this nation('s credit card companies' profits) great.

Grateful to have made it to 2008,
Z

We do remember you were here, love you for making that effort under less than fun circumstances...it made a big difference. Sorry if we (I) seemed distracted.
