New Year's Eve comes and Sabbatical begins.

This new year's eve we spent at Gertrud's house; had some great lobster that George and the girls made, played a bit of a game, lit some sparklers and other fireworks (in the park), and headed home nearly stone sober. As of 51 minutes ago, I am on sabbatical. I'll be creating a new blog and posting material in this blog and a special facebook page to document my activities, starting in the morning.
