Happy New Year 2006
Well, I hope everyone made it to 2006 safe and sound.
We did our usual "stay at home and avoid the idiots on the road" gig last night, and we are both still full this morning from our gluttonous meal last night. We had some simple food - a bit of crab and asparagus sushi with the obligatory shaved ginger and wasabi and a bit of "King Creole Crab Dip" on Breton crackers from our favorite market while we grilled a couple of filets and prosciutto-wrapped jumbo prawns as a main course. The "masterpiece" was the Morel and Madiera sauce for the filets. Yum. The funniest part of the evening was when Jake and Elwood sniffed raw shrimp in the air, and went completely insane while Janice deveined them ... I had to hold them, to keep them from attacking her and the prawns. Janice said Elwood was looking at her and the prawns like a vulture circling over fresh roadkill.
We hope everyone enjoyed their Christmas cards. And no, so far, PETA hasn't knocked on our door to arrest us for Kitty Cruelty (they don't know about the staples we had to use to keep those antlers on ... ha ha). Nor has any mental health official knocked on our door, thinking we're nuts for taking that picture. They may, after next year's. I already have it planned. LOL
It snowed about 2 inches here yesterday afternoon/evening, and I am beginning to think we're in for a pretty hard winter here in the Northeast. It's pretty, though.
We both want to wish every one a Happy, Healthy, Safe, and Prosperous New Year. Love one another, and spread peace and joy to all those around you in the coming 365 days.
My New Year's Resolutions:

My New Year's Resolutions:
- Be nice to everyone I encounter and try to do 1 "good deed" every day;
- Find the resolve to quit smoking (may be the first one broken);
- Lose the weight I've put on over the Holidays;
- Be a little more frequent with my blog postings (aren't you all happy now? LOL);
- Enjoy some golf outings;
- Watch the Redskins win the Super Bowl (ok, that may even be the first to be broken LOL)
