The fiscal cliff crumbled at the last minute -- no falling, just stumbling through the rubble. We should feel good about this, but from what I understand, not much has been resolved. Shall we carry on living the life that is thrown at us? I suggest we do so with gusto!
We greeted the new year as we have since 2000 by joining childhood friends and family in Severna Park. Eating started at 7:30, after we gussied-up (That used to mean fancy clothes. Now it means lipstick and a clean sweater). There were sushi, grilled oysters, lobsters, truffle potatoes, salad, and dessert topped off with a champagne toast at midnight amid sparklers, flying confetti and much kissing and hugging amongst the nine of us. There was a time we continued to party almost to dawn, but those days are long gone. Proudly, however, we did rumpus about until 2AM. Not bad for a bunch of dudes their 60's and 70's. It is a warm and comforting time. Happy New Year!
