Shempy New Year
posted by Absinthe | 3:28 AM
New Year’s Eve found us curled up on the couch with a crappy movie. (Though we did nip out during the day and see Children Of Men, which I thought was phenomenal; I recommend it unreservedly.) I’m not in much of a festive drinking mode at the moment, and though I know Kim is in bad need of a margarita, that’s going to have to wait quite a few months.
I’d thought about a maudlin end-of-year post, something to sum up, but then I realized I don’t feel much like summing up. Autopsies are for dead things and my year was good enough I’d really rather it not be over.
The next few months should be a whirlwind; the next two weeks are all about reconfiguring our apartment, then a month at the LA Poker Classic, and then there’s the matter of preparing for an extra human. I suspect there’s no amount of preparation that would be enough, but we won’t let that stop us trying.

Congrats again on the new human. That’s awesome.
I feel the same way about the new year…..but the nice thing is that opportunity abounds for those looking for it. Change is generally good. No change is stagnation.
The first round of margaritas after it’s all over is on me and my wife.

You may be able to keep a poker face when bluffing with 72o, but trying to keep a straight face when a toddler argues about bedtime is a true test.

That wasn’t YOU with the cameraphone at Saddam’s execution was it?
