New Years stuff
Happy New Year, he said formally. I hope it is for all of you in an overall,
average-it-out kind of sense.
Bad stuff happens in a year, and so does good. The bad stuff was obviously
Sept. 11, among other things, but good stuff happened. Susan and I finally
got engaged, on Christmas morning no less. She generally doesn't like
Christmas because of all the buy-buy-buy about it, especially buy-buy-buy
stuff for people who most likely won't need it or won't use it. I figured
this one will be one she enjoys. She said yes immediately. We cried lots.
Leaning towards eloping: no massive invitation list, no grandiose plans, no
church and country-club reserving for thousands of dollars ahead of time, no
minutiae to worry about. Just do it and run off somewhere alone. Cuddle
closely and quietly and give thanks for each other.
We spent New Years Eve in Rockport, Mass., where we live. Had to carry the
off-hours beeper (I work in hospital software, and it's my turn with the
emergency beeper this week), so that precluded being far from home, so
stayed in town. Rockport has a surprisingly good array of music, dance,
puppetry, story-telling, and other performances, all of it from north of
Boston. Cheap Champagne rules. If you get a chance to see them, ask for
their song "It's Only a Flesh Wound".
OK, gotta go and do what most people must be doing on New Years Day:
cleaning up after Christmas. Later, people.
