Ibram, if that's the present you're planning to send me next Xmas, I accept!

Merry New Year!

Ah, the Canadian Geese. Are they a problem everywhere now? Ours haven't figured out that they are supposed to fly south for the winter. They just hang out all year long leaving behind their tootsie rolls. Fortunately, none of my kids have ever mistaken them for such . . .

Happy New Year everyone - How are you going to celebrate?

JayMcGee · 12-27-2006, 10:19 PM

i shall get pissed out of my mind. (no change there.....)

How about the rest of you?

Aliantha · 12-27-2006, 11:01 PM

I think we're staying in this year. Usually we go to a party with friends, but we wont have the kids this year, so...maybe we'll stay home and...practice.

Sundae · 12-28-2006, 07:45 AM

Stay at home
As usual (sob)

Have promised myself (for about the 5th year running) that this is the LAST New Years Eve I spend on my own.

Iggy · 12-28-2006, 04:29 PM

I don't know yet... I have one friend who is throwing a party but I don't think my SO wants to go to her house. I will call around to my other friends that he would like to see and find out if they are doing anything fun. Hopefully I will at least get drunk...

Oh, and a Happy New year to you all!!!

yesman065 · 12-28-2006, 05:16 PM

I thought I might answer my own question too, but I have no answer right now. I am currently deciding whether to stay home with my son or go out with my girl. I may even end up staying home (or going out) with both my son and my girl.

Undertoad · 12-28-2006, 05:19 PM

How old is the lad?

yesman065 · 12-28-2006, 11:04 PM

I'm 42 shes 24 and hes 16 - I know I know. let 'em fly!

CaliforniaMama · 12-29-2006, 01:49 AM

I think we've been invited to a party, but I have to check on that.

Usually we graze. Get all this weird finger food kind of stuff that we don't eat at any other time and just drag food out as we want it and snack the night away. Along with a good bottle of champagne and kid wine for the little ones.

If we stay home one of our amusements is to watch our kids try to make it to midnight!

We've been letting the kids start to watch Lord of the Rings (I still think they are too young), so maybe we'll have a marathon movie night . . . hey, that actually sounds like fun!

I love my new camera. I took off from work half an hour early yesterday and walked over to the White house to take some shots. Here's the National Christmas Tree (the one by the White House, not the one by the Capital.)

I also threw in a moon picture I took with no tripod. Took a few tries to get the exposure right, but I'm quite pleased with this camera.

steppana · 12-29-2006, 07:56 AM

Great moon shot! And taken on Wenzdnesday if I'm not mistaken... Happy New Year, Cellar Pipple!

The shutter speed was pretty fast and the camera has image stabilization. That's one of the reasons I'm so happy with this camera. I've never taken a shot like this before.
