Subject: RE: Fun New Year's Eve
We had a fun New Years.
The young daughter and I stayed up until midnight, then celebrated with
some nice, safe sparkling apple cider. She started jumping on my bed
with the cider raised in the air, and suddenly let go of the bottle. It
broke on my dresser mirror, covered the room is glass, and soaked
clothes in the top three drawers of the dresser. Managed to avoid
stepping on anything that would have sent me to the emergency room and
my first task of 2004 became cleaning apple cider out of the walls. Plus
I got to do laundry until 4 AM.
On New Years day, we have a tradition. Mr. New Years visits us on his
flying disco ball of deals to bestow heavily discounted gifts and prizes
we didn't get for Christmas. The Polly Pocket Designer Fashion Mall my
daughter wanted, which cost $50 on Christmas Eve, was marked down to
$14.99. The $60 dress she wanted from the Limited Too was now on
clearance, and I got it for like $9. Old Navy was going with $5 shirts
and $10 jeans, which I took advantage of to great extent. The 20GB iPod,
which was $299 at Hecht's on Christmas Eve, was still $299, which didn't
bother me because the thing is engineered to die after 18 months. But
Best Buy had a 40GB Rio (I think) player that was going for $249, and I
picked that up for $129 on a 1-day special (of course, being the kind
and benevolent father I am, I gave this to my daughter). Also, I found
an ATI 5700 with 128MB onboard RAM and a coupon for a free copy of
Half-Life 2 going for $129, but I passed on it.
Bottom Line: I bought merchandise that was valued at close to $500 on
Christmas Eve for less than $280.

hi gang,
hope everyone had a fun New Year's Eve.
we did!
something quite different for us -
went out to dinner overlooking the Bay,
then 11pm concert at Kimball's East jazz club (Emeryville, next to
Oakland)
trumpeter named Rick Braun
really cute - at a quiet part his 3-yr-old in the audience kept yelling
"Hi Daddy" until he answered her :-)
he started the show entering from behind the crowd with a wireless mike
on his trumpet, walked through the place playing until he got to the
stage. fun.
excellent sax, guitar, bass, drums, keyboard players, let them do long
solos.
I have a picture of him standing on the chair next to me playing at one
point!!
They passed out hats, noisemakers, champagne for midnight. Really
enjoyed, got a bit emotional about surviving into the new year :-)
We had booked a room 1/2 mile away, fell into bed, came home after
brekkie.
-Ben
