so glad we made it

Here's a toast to all my dear LJers – kaklinkk! I'm sipping the last of a bottle of Veuve Cliquot – delightful to the end, as it turns out I've had to consume most of the dear thing, but over 36 hours or so. I opened it while *hwynym and I watched the amazing Dick Clark deliver New Years 2006 at the lovely Niantic home of Tom and Jay.

Jim and I got to toast the book and his truly exceptional piece for it. It was a great somewhat unexpected visit. Thanks, Punkin! We loved sharing the holiday…come back any time!

It's been a good holiday season, and I've appreciated the time offblog.
I'm ready for 2006. 'bout time, eh?
