January 1, 2007---Happy New Year!!

Well, its the first day of the year.  Last night Kim & I, along with the kids and brother-in-law Jorge, went a couple of houses down the street to our friends Jimmy & Mary for a New Year's party.  It started off relatively quietly, until Kim remembered that she had Pina Colada & Daiquiri mix at home.  Party time, Italian style!

After that, the party started swinging.  No, not cuz of the alki-hol, but because of the fact that we were drinking, and Kellie kept waiting for us to do something that would embarrass her.  So I obliged, and pretended that I was going to take my clothes off while I was dancing.

Man, there is nothing as fun as mortifying your children.  Big fun!

Later, and I mention this only because I really can be a terrible person, Jimmy was setting off some fireworks across the street and there was smoke everywhere, and I said:

"Hey, how come it smells the way it does after Kellie has been in the bathroom?"

Wow.  Even I felt guilty after that one.  Well, maybe a little bit.

Kellie wasn't too mortified, don't worry.  She was too busy being the only teenage girl in the midst of about 5 teenage boys.  Good lord, she was the Queen and they were her court.  So one kid approaches me and tells me that he's a Vikings fan (more on them later).  I congratulate him on his good sense and then discover...that he's a wrestler for his high school.  22-1 record for the j.v. team last year and going varsity this year.

I may have met my future son-in-law.


Happy New Year to everyone and here's a wish for a safe and healthy new year.

Later,
Jeff
