Hi johnnyFive and rezzeJ and of course veen - all of you out in your time zones, although I think I'm in the same place as j5. Sorry veen, I haven't posted any new year's meditations and reflections. I went on hubski tonight because I was thinking of donating some $$ and I noticed that the little orange bar in the top right corner has filled up. AWESOME!! maybe there's a recent post where everyone decided to put in $5. I have been travelling so haven't checked in for a few days. Yes, I just got back from Times Square, NYC. I left Manhattan around 1:00 p.m. and headed to EWR, got an earlier seat on my flight to Toronto. Landed in YTZ around 6:00, a shuttle, a bus, and some walking and I'm back home. It's so cold in Canada that the Calgary Zoo have brought their PENGUINS in. While I was walking from 37th and Park to Penn Station earlier, barriers were going up, streets were closing, and security was ramping up. I tuned in briefly to the live stream from Times Square and the reportage was spectacularly boring (to me), but I imagine it would be fun to be there freezing. There's a live feed from the Key West new year's eve party. Entertainer Sushi has climbed into a giant shoe high up on a balcony. At midnight the shoe drops.
Hey, sorry I missed you on IRC...I had originally thought my wife was going to bed, but we decided to stay up to watch Best of the Worst instead. Have a happy near year!
