Still a couple hours to go here in my time zone, so greetings from the past. We took our daughter and a couple friends to the light show at the local botanical garden...it was cold, but the (spiked) hot chocolate we smuggled in definitely helped. My wife was in Charleston, SC for a couple days, only coming back in town about 3-4 hours ago. She's off putting the kid to bed. Meanwhile, I'm here, sitting on IRC, playing Dwarf Fortress, watching Best of the Worst, and futzing around with GitLab. Also debating putting LineageOS on my phone. Last New Year's we also did the garden, and then my wife and mother-in-law drank too much (my wife had probably the worst hangover I've ever seen her have the next day). I had something like half a bottle of whiskey and played Killing Floor. The year before, we were drunk at a concert venue in Charleston. I'm superstitious enough to hope that maybe a low-key New Year's will lead to a low-key year. But honestly this is where I'm at right now anyway. I feel like I could use a year-long vacation.
