I got a wonderful treat to begin the new year -- a card! My bride gave it to me, a great surprise. The day beginning this year was great: snacking on the leftovers from the Vietnamese shrimp salad, watching "Bringing Up Baby" on TCM instead of the Rose Parade, eating muffins from a mix that came from one of our open house guests, visiting fellow dog-walkers in the park (a two-mammal thing, as you'd guess), taking a nap (Gore's repetitive "The Assault on Reason" will help with that) to ready for the Rose Bowl, snacking on baby quiche, going overboard by eating more (the old corned beef from early this week), going to bed with the bride who gave me the card. And as the evening ended, a call from JR&T, telling of a relaxed New Year's Eve -- a 2nd treat! (Linda said in a previous post we'd heard from B&B&E&L about Thousand Oaks, and know we'll hear more after they've had a chance to sleep. And before I wrote this, I re-read T's great prologue to their New Year's, a 1st as bride for her -- and she got halibut & special potatoes & champagne that night! Now, I'm just waiting to hear from C&J about [1] arrival in Boston, [2] trek to Vermont, and [3] stories of family & snow(?)) Happy 2nd of January! Love, Pop.
