Hello 2009!

Happy New Year!

I hope everyone who partied had a fun and safe time. I hope everyone who didn't party was content doing whatever it was you were doing.

Phoenix and I went to our friend's home in Manassas. There was food and friends and no ball dropping at midnight. Instead, we watched the Death Star explode. It was grand. Then, we danced among the trees in the cold first hour of 2009 while making lots of noise.

Phoenix's boyfriend arrived a couple nights ago, he moved here from Idaho. His holiday gift from our friends was a t-shirt that reads: "God Bless America. Except Idaho. Fuck Idaho." Hear, here! I need one!
