Happy New Year!

One of the benefits of living in a booming metropolis (cough) is the major New Year's Eve celebration. All day I have witnessed the influx of barricades, beer trucks, portajohns, and cotton candy stands.

After a stop at Neighbor John's for good liquor and food, I wandered down to the end of the street to watch the ball rise. It went much more smoothly than last year, but the fireworks were a little anticlimactic.

Thanks to my stellar camera, you will think it was much more exciting than it really was.

Now I'm settling in for a half hour or so of Boom barking frantically as all the partygoers stumble down the street looking for the cars they left many, many blocks away.

Tell all your single friends, 2009 is the Year of the Recovered Mojo!!
