Or the first time in close to 20 years I didn't host a NYE gathering, because for the first time in almost that long, I have the flu. Since people were already en-route, from far flung places, when I was struck down on Friday, I managed to shift the burden to a friend in NJ.
I did put in a brief appearance to distribute Christmas gifts and acquire some new toys.... but I really wish I had a hangover.
To all the people that have called me a sick bastard....now you're right.
