New Year's Eve

Well, here it is, December 31st and I just have to remark that this has been the most fun blog year! Thank you so much, Karl, for setting this up, and making sure it is inhabited with interesting, insightful, and delightful blogs. I was thinking that, on this New Year's Eve it would be fun to have a little contest of sorts, and see who could be the first to post a blog in 2008. I know that the times are always a little off on the posting. For example, as I'm writing this it's 4:20. I'll type a little more, and put a time at the end of my post, and then I'll comment right away, so you can see how far off the time is. Then you can use that strategy to help you post the first blog of the new year.

Now I know what you're all going to say, that you'll all be out celebrating, and that I'm the only one that doesn't have a life. but that's not true. Betsey and Rich are pretty much homebodies these days, and Edward and Meridth are in a new area, still making new friends. Who knows what they're doing tonight. Also, Ryan and Casey like to party with the fam, so they might be around too. We'll just see.

Anyway, just a couple more comments, and I'll end. Eleanor Iris is beautiful, and so quiet and good. Ed and I are so lucky we got to hang out with her for four days (and her mom and dad). We had a wonderful time, we loved seeing the play "Wicked" and we loved holding Nora!
