HAPPY NEW YEAR!!

2003 will end in a few minutes. I don’t make resolutions any more, but I feel more resolved than usual. I’ll leave it at that.

I am enjoying my evening of football and occasional ventures downstairs to see what the roommate is up to. She made pecan caramel candy and it was very tasty while warm, but we are still out of karo syrup, so the candy turned hard rather quickly. Imagine, if you will… the roommate attacking said candy with large, stainless steel knife to remove it from glass 9 x 13 pan. Both of us have broken teeth… so the pecan caramel jawbreakers are now in the wastebasket.

I hope wherever you are, you did something that you enjoyed tonight — whether that means you stayed home alone, ate some popcorn (or chocolate) and watched Dick Clark (who just now nearly exclaimed, “Happy Birthday!” instead of “Happy New Year!” to one of his co-hosts) or you danced the night away with dozens of other people, spent the night with your family or curled up on the couch with your honey and watched a movie. May the new year bring you all you hope for and the wonderful delights you couldn’t have created in your wildest dreams that will surprise your socks off.

Happy New Year!
