Happy New Year!

New Years Eve was spent at Jacqui and David's. Click the pix for full size ones.

New Year Day was beautiful until 3:00 p.m and a blustery shower hit us. Yay, wet and we can deal with the cool.

It is gratifying to see that Rick, with prescriptions I funded, is getting better. The antibiotics are really helping. The palliatives are allowing sleep. He is looking better. The job is going well. I brought him some lunch and I think he has been "out" all afternoon. Sleep is a wonderful healer.

Old friends are arriving in the park. Joe and Pat F. arrived. I saw Cheryl and Doug. Though I am living in the "French Quarter" my neighbors are nice and warm: New Year's greetings went all around on this day.

Lori and Jason are on a roll. A Poker party is scheduled for their house tomorrow night. I will go and be houseboy (I volunteered) so both can play. They have friends in town. Most of them I know. One childhood friend of Jason's has arrived and he was a stitch: Among a very witty set of skills he can tell how many minutes from the start of any movie a sex scene occurs. He is currently a liquor company rep- I haven't seen him since Jason and Lori's wedding. He used to be a livewire. I am sure he has mellowed some. It will be interesting.

I am grateful for this relatively quiet day. Though I did not overindulge on New Year's Eve in any way, the pace of the social life is making quiet time really nice. I am a hermit, dammit!
