Happy New Year!

Sean and Nikolas, Halloween 2005
Sean and Nikolas

Yep, the grandsons were a bit shorn at Halloween, but I love this picture.

It was a fairly quiet evening. I chatted with some friends early on, then Eric and I shared a candlelit dinner for two and then ... well, there are some things I do keep private.

I turned on the last 10 minutes of Dick Clarke's [re]broadcast from New York and it almost tore my heart out to see him valiantly work at trying to recapture his broadcasts of years past. Growing up with him as a Saturday afternoon fixture, then as a constant New Year's eve host, we always joked he had his own Picture of Dorian Gray stashed somewhere. No more.

And the ... er ... spectacle of Mariah Carey? Ewww. 'nuf said.

So, here's to 2006! Revel in the joys, be courageous in the face of tragedy, embrace the love of friends, seek justice and the wisdom to define it.

I think Dick Clark was incredibly brave.
