Happy New Year!
We watched the big shiny ball drop last night as Dick Clark counted it down. Bless him, I'm glad he was feeling up to the tv appearance despite the stroke he's had. We celebrated with some sparkling white wine from California. Today we took down all the Christmas decorations, lights, and tree. That's always a little sad since it means we have to go back to normal work schedules soon. The short break from school was very much appreciated. I think Annie really liked the extra time with us during the holiday break. She's been really good about traveling lately, and she acted fairly well while visiting everybody. I don't really like the idea of new years resolutions, so I try not to make them. If there's something I think I should do, I usually just do it. I hope everyone has a good 2006.
