    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.

    Wow! Just watched the radar replay. Looks almost like there was a mini derecho whipping northeast in the middle of the larger rain front heading towards NY.

        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…

        Last time I was in Rome I was 27 with two buddies. I vividly recall walking back home after a late night dance pub (out door bar) not knowing what time it was. Stereotypically without trying, we walked past the coliseum and sat for a second. My friend asked me if the coliseum is like 100 years old so clearly he was hammered. Then we figured it was 1am. It was 4:45am! 😂

          I’m still up at 9:40 despite no sleep, one bottle of Prosecco and one of Chateauneuf du Pape. Party animal am I.

              Dinner was Costco vegetable spring rolls. and soup made with leftover Costco rotisserie chicken.

              Trying to decide if I should open a bottle of red wine or just do grocery store eggnog with a splash of vodka. What do you think?

                  Finley finally laid down, but wouldn’t unless Karla laid down with him. I’m supposed to go wake her up in 15 minutes. I hope I don’t fall asleep in the meantime

                    The answer is yes.

                      It’s after 11 and still awake. Surprising.

                          Still feeling too full to have a proper glass of red wine, much less eggnog. Opting for a small shot of maotai instead.
