Happy New Year to you all! Geri and I did manage to stay up until about 2:30 this morning. Funny how things have changed, and now our kids manage to spend their New Years at house parties and club celebrations, while the folks just spend a quiet evening at home.
We, of course, watched TV to witness Toronto's New Year's celebration just past the stroke of midnight. We missed the countdown because we were watching a DVD movie, and paused it long enough to bring in the New Year together in the traditional way. Another great seafood dinner of candied salmon, rice, breaded oysters, and avocado filled shrimp with homemade cocktail sauce. Beer during dinner, then Cognac for nightcaps.
Earlier, we caught the Vancouver Canucks vs Los Angeles Kings hockey game. Canucks lost this game 4-1, unfortunately. After the game I had a bunch of new music CDS I quickly scanned through. One of my favourite music stores in Vancouver, HMV, is closing at their downtown location due to high lease rates, and all their stuff has been on sale at up to 70% off, so I bought a few CDs on Boxing Day. My youngest son had a Christmas gift for me which hadn't arrived until after Christmas. It's a UK pressing of Live Cream Volume II from 1972. And I had saved him a Lou Reed CD I bought for him from that big store sale.
I hope you have a healthy and prosperous New Year, and I hope this year doesn't fly by as quickly as last year seemed to have done.
Nando.
