So, would you rather: Drink a beer with Bush Sr., smoke a joint with
Clinton (but not inhale), or do lines of coke with Bush Jr?

Foregone conclusion.

It seems that brodbeck (typically) is not paying attention. President
Bush has a wonderful sense of humor. Such as the time he spoke to the
Yale graduates.
He told them that the A students were those who would become the
professors at the college.
The B students would become corporate CEOs.
And the C students would wind up becoming president of the United
States.
harmon: As someone once said, nobody likes an asshole.

Are you suggesting he wrote that joke himself?

Happy New Year, Don. Toast yourself for being there, for someone, while
others party.

KLG must be reading from a script just like Bush does in all his speeches.
I call what he does "flip-flipping" (the pages).

I'm doing very little this NYE, being in a new city and all. I just opened
a bottle of good wine - there's a wine store right around the corner!

We're home for New Year's Eve, since Leslie picked up a sinus infection
on our Christmas trip to visit the families. Probably we'll read
stuff online, since we've had little online time for the last
ten days, and we might watch the Doctor Who Christmas special.
Some sparkling cider is rumored to be in the fridge, and we have some
cheese and other party-like munchies.

I actually sorted all my 100s of digital photos into directories and may write
the last two paper mails that I owe, THIS YEAR! (And then go to bed with a
cold possibly due to biking around getting photos printed in the rain and
shoveling slush).
I will have to sort my 2400 emails before 2007.

Happy new year, from the eastern (US) time zone..
Someday perhaps someone can explain to me the attraction of watching the
lighted ball descend on television..

We would usually either attention one of the parties we get invited to or stay
home and do a fondue. The last two years were spent in the hospital: 2003
my recovering from emergency surgery, 2004 with my father who was suffering
from pneumonia brought on as a complication of lung cancer. This year we
spent at my sister's with most of the family in a quiet gathering as it was
the first anniversary of Daddy's passing (the pneumonia got him at about 8pm
New Year's Eve 2004). We didn't want to all go off and leave Mom home alone
and we needed to be together with or without her, but especially for her.

My neighbors celebrated by setting off firecrackers until rather late. I
would have liked to get more sleep. I thought the firecrackers were just a
Japanese custom. Yawn.

We were watching "Sleepless in Seattle" (again) and the New Years celebration
in the movie just happened to occur at less than a minute after the midnight
here....reminding us it was the new year.

We had a nice dinner and watched "The Brothers Grimm" on DVD, pausing to
watch the ball drop. Also drank champagne throughout.

We're on day two of New Years 2006. Amazingly, the first thing I've
had this morning was coffee and not Sake or beer...but then, I hear
them calling me to the table so the respite is not to be for long...

Re resp:25: Hmm...just because he doesn't inhale, does that mean I'm not
allowed to, either?
