Here we go again...
Anyway, we're still not all the way back up to speed so we just stayed in last night. Today was also fairly non-event-oriented. But I will say that a cup of Jamaican Blue Mountain is a pretty decent way to start your year (thanks Jeff!) Spent a bit too much time this afternoon driving from store to store to store getting almost but not quite exactly what I needed. Watched a bit of the Mummer's Parade from Philly -- always a wacky sight to behold. Sarah got me turned onto the Mummers. They've always struck me as a sorta northeast-blue-collar version of Mardi Gras Indians. In fact, I remember seeing something on TV years and years ago where they were interviewing Mardi Gras Indians and the stuff they said about working on the costumes and choreography and music all year long was just the same the things I've heard from the guys doing Mummers.
Here's a cool thing (spotted on boing boing): QTVR panoramas from New Year's Eve. I particularly like the ones from Zermatt and NYC.
happy frikkin new year everybody!
