Happy New Year, 2001
Weeeelllll, I wrote a big ole post yesterday about the New Year and all that…it just didn’t seem to make it through the cyberprocess to this place. Sorry.
In short: The New Year’s Event went very well. We invited several folks over for dinner, and had a great night. The meal came off without a hitch, and everyone enjoyed themselves mightily. Some a little too mightily, but not me. And, thankfully, nothing in my house was broken this time around. (The last time we had a party, someone broke the bed in our guestroom…not nice.)
Around 11:00PM on December 31st, it started to snow in Birmingham. Heavily. Since I wasn’t working for days, I have no idea how the roads were, but I heard they were not good. The point is, it snowed here for the second time in a month. A good, quality snow. I mean, the ground was white, that has to count for something. I know, I know, in other parts of the country they deal with much more snow more often and much better than we do. I know, and I understand. Just don’t rain on my parade, OK? Snow in Alabama is a big deal. So back off.
Where was I? Oh, New Year’s… On New Year’s Day, we got up (!), cleaned house (!) and folks came back over to watch the Auburn - Michigan State Bowl game. We lost, but it was a damn good showing, so I’m happy enough. All in all, it was a great five days off.
Happy New Year everyone.
