    Ran a 5k in the ice and snow in VT, visiting my family.  My nephew was running so I joined him.  (And destroyed his time!  Lol)

    Visited with my brother and his family for a few hours.

    Made dinner and enjoyed with my sister and mother.  

    Put our kid to bed after playing some games around 930.

    Had a few drinks and watched a movie.  

    Went to bed shortly after midnight, no "ball dropping" on TV stuff.

    Old.  This was fine.
    Taking the train back to Philly this morning. 

    Hope you feel better soon!

    Hope you feel better soon, Speedy. I went to a fancy party at the Player’s Club in NYC. Ate too much food, drank too much from the open bar. The band they had was amazing. My feet were killing me all night from high heels. Got home around 2:00am. But didn’t get to sleep until around 4:00am. Today, I  am making a lasagna. Happy 2024 everyone!!

    Walk along the water from 7-8pm, glass of wine at home, watched tv, in bed with the cat by 10:30.

    The walk by the ocean was what the highlight ... so quiet, peaceful and beautiful. A good chance to reflect back on 2023 and look ahead to 2024.

    Happy 2024 all.

    I can't believe some of you young whipper snappers crashing out before midnight, lol!  Of course, old and crusty me, I'm still a night owl so was up until about 1:30 AM.

    We watched an episode of Doc Martin- loving that show!  Played a game of Scrabble and a round of Quiddler. 

    C. crashed out around 11:20, drifting off to sleep as nearly every night with me playing and singing a few tunes for her on my LX1 Little Martin.

    And then I started the new year just as I do every year- with anxiety until the shooting and fireworks subside.  It's strange to go through this annual PTSD episode to start the year.  

    But got past that and read some more of Peter Jesperson's most excellent memoir, Euphoric Recall before crashing to the sound of my wife and the cat both making their cute little nighttime sleep breathing sounds. 

    Happy New Year, all!

    Watched a Mission Impossible movie and did the budget for 2024.

    Apparently the missions are not impossible.  Just difficult.

    For whatever reason, it's kind of embarrassing for me to say much about it, but I opened that door so...  
    The thing is, my issues compared to people I know who were in Vietnam, Iran, or Iraq, let alone people today in Gaza, The Ukraine, etc. indicates that  I really have little grounds to complain.  My issues stem from multiple mostly lesser issues.  
    When I was a kid, I lost my way not too far from camp and some people were shooting near by and I didn't know where it was safe to go.  Eventually, when there was a lull, I took off running. 
    Years later, in my early 20's, there were close by neighbors in my apartment in S.F. who were having some kind of shoot out. 
    And then about 10 years ago a guy I had recently befriended was shot and killed in Sacramento (I wasn't there but heard about it the next day).  So guns are a bad thing for me.
    Also, I was exposed to an explosion of hydrogen and oxygen gasses in 1993-- very close by and it was a lot louder than most gunshot or even loud fire crackers like cherry bombs or M-80's.  That incident permanently damaged my auditory nerves and gave my hyperacusis, poor auditory discrimination, and 27/7 tinnitus.
    So now all loud noises are painful, and basically any kind of shooting, or fireworks, etc. trigger anxiety big time.  New Years and 4th of July are hell for me
    But the good part of the story is that I've learned to just deal with it best I can.  I was addicted to Xanax for most of the 90's until that almost killed me, but I got off that stuff and don't take any medication at all. 
    So yeah, there are bad days but, hey, I'm alive and life is mostly good! I'm hoping 2024 is going to be great!  :smile:

    NYE is my anniversary so we had a great steak dinner at St Elmo's sister restaurant (1933 Lounge) and then came back home to party with the dog and cats. I thought my kids might be around for some games but they all did their own thing.

    I really wanted to go to sleep around 830 or so but I persevered and ending up staying up until 130 or so...had some bubbly at midnight and let the dog bark at fireworks. He had a blast.

    Not too hungover the next day. Didn't leave the house so it was a nice relaxed day watching football and TV.

    We partied at home. Played music, cooked shrimp and went outside at midnight, popped champagne and lit some Roman candles. Fun night! Happy 2024!
