New Year’s Eve Plans?

[George K]

We got nothin'. Hoping to stay up past 10.

[jon-nyc]

We’re in the city for a very expensive lovely night. Staying at the Essex with a view of Central Park. Going to dinner and jazz tonight.

[jon-nyc]

View from my window.

[Mik]

Nice. We just popped a prosecco, so bedtime has been moved up to 8.

Nice view!

Gonna do a few (leftover) fireworks with the kids after dinner, then normal bedtime. Last year I didn’t stay up until midnight for the first time, and I suspect the same today. Need the sleep!

[Copper]

I bought a chocolate cake with chocolate frosting for desert.

Maybe some whiskey and Netflix.

I played golf yesterday, I played golf today, and while normal people will be in bed enjoying the hangover, I'll play golf tomorrow at around sunrise, as usual.

Happy New Year

That's the life, Jon. Nothing better. Enjoy!

And a thunderstorm rolled in.. Can’t even light off the last of the fireworks…

Jealous…

[Aqua Letifer]

Well that was certainly interesting.

We're just at home hanging out. Then I realized I couldn't find Moki. Or the cats.

Moki had wedged herself underneath a hallway dresser, which she's never done before. The cats were also in weird corners of the house. We got the bun out from her hiding spot just to keep an eye on her and left the cats where they were.

Then the storm hit.

The wind was so rough it was shaking the windows. It's not like they're single-pane or anything. Then hail so bad it was setting off car alarms. And something that I realize isn't that rare but for me was a new experience: green lightning. I don't mean had a green tinge, I'm talking I fully expected Voldemort to be behind the lightning.

Still going through now but it's not nearly as dramatic. One hell of a storm.

[jon-nyc]

Sometimes it’s really hard to be me.

What, a middle aged guy with money? Is there any more desirable position for a guy to be in?

[George K]

Something Mrs. George ate disagreed with her this afternoon, in an...explosive way, so we cancelled our plans for pizza.

We're both in our jammies, and I'm nursing some Glenlivet.

Uhm, @jon-nyc is 5 years past middle aged…

You have a sick wife and it’s the whiskey getting nursed?

She's a retired ICU nurse...

I’m worried that Luke might be a little too mature. He Messengered us at 7:10 (12:10) in London. He, Hanna, and friends were back from the pub, toasted New Years in the hotel bar, and were on their way back to their rooms so they could have a good night’s sleep before the parade.

These are 21 year olds, visiting London… On New Year’s Eve…

I would have been crawling back into the room sometime between 5AM and 7AM…

[George K]

@LuFins-Dad fantastic.

As I've said, your kids become your friends at age 25. Sounds like Luke is going to reach that barrier early.

Good for you.

[George K]

Partying tonight with the New Year’s crew.

@LuFins-Dad

He’s got a girl. Duh.
