No Mummers Parade here in Philly, today--it's been postponed till Saturday because of the rain. Maybe I'll go and take some of it in this year.

I'm going to hop in the shower now to get cleaned up to face the rest of my day.

MR. DRIVAS' SUN-DRENCHED WET ONE - where else on the internet could you read such a phrase?

Mr. Drivas' Sun-Drenched Wet One - that's the name of my new eau de cologne.

Merry New Year to One and All!!!

I'd intended to sign on last night and join the party but I had a last minute accident--and I mean last minute.

Mom wanted to get up to ring the New Year in. I had bought a bottle of Asti for us to have a toast.

To make a long story short, as the last minute was counting down, I was trying to open the bottle (yes I was using a corkscrew). It exploded. I had closed my eyes because I was afraid of the cork and it's a good thing I did. Glass flew and when I opened my eyes, I had blood everywhere.

I'm alright. A few cuts but at first I had thought that I would have have to go to the ER.

2006 was out to get me--right down to the last minute and am I glad that year is OVER!

I will never attempt to open another corked bottle of anything ever again!

I hope everyone else had a more peaceful begining to the New Year.

Good Morning! Good Afternoon!

DR Danise - OMG!!!! Glad to know you're all right. Welcome to 2007. May it be broken-glass-free!

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #96 on:** January 01, 2007, 09:37:04 AM »

...And maybe in a few days, we'll pass on the proper procedure for opening a corked bottle of champagne/effervescent wine.

Danise · « **Reply #97 on:** January 01, 2007, 09:40:20 AM »

Thank you, DR Jose. I think I've learned the lesson on how NOT to open a corked bottle.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #98 on:** January 01, 2007, 09:42:27 AM »

Well, I slept in too - until just a little before Noon. -But since I've been getting up around 11:00-ish, Noon-ish lately, I guess I really wasn't sleeping in... But enough of the semantics...

I got a great night's sleep, and I feel very rested and well this morning/afternoon. That's a good way to start off 2007.

-I'll just start off with this helpful hint: If the bottle has a "bulb" type cork. Do not use a corkscrew. It's not needed.

I'm watching the Rose Parade. Someday I hope to see one in person.

The dogs took the fireworks pretty good. I think Bear is somewhat deaf because he didn't even lift his head. Sheena was scared. Poor thing, she shook like a leaf but she's fine this morning. She does seem to be sitting closer to me then usual.

To bad there isn't some way you can explain what's going on to them.

JoseSPiano · « **Reply #101 on:** January 01, 2007, 09:48:36 AM »

Well... Time for me to get something to eat, and then it's Pack, Pack, Pack! It shouldn't really take me that much time to pack. I just need to not get so picky, organized - meaning, anal - while packing - especially since it's all going to be unpacked in a few days anyway. Open empty box. Fill empty box. Tape now-filled box. Done.

-One can dream... ;-)

Laters...

Have a great day, DR Jose!

I need to go and get supper started.

This is what the owner of Sam Morgan's gave me to welcome in the new year; i'll be popping it's cork with dinner - sauerkraut, ribs and kielbasa around 2:00pm . . .

I'm up, I'm up. I went to bed at two so I almost got eight hours. The sky is bluer than blue and I am upper than up.

It looks like there is a gentle breeze - I don't mind gentle breezes, I don't even mind Gentile breezes.

As soon as I ungroggify I shall joggify - the first jog of the New Year.

Just finished watching the Rose Parade, too. HGTV does a great job.

35 years ago today, I was in Pasadena with my parents. It was my senior year at Michigan, who played Stanford (and lost in the last seconds) in the Rose Bowl. We did not attend the parade, but did go to the game. On Jan. 2, we went to one of the local parks where the floats were on display. It was a thrill to see them (and smell them!) up close and personal

MBarnum · « **Reply #113 on:** January 01, 2007, 10:11:23 AM »

Looks like we all made it through to the new year...although some of us (Danise!) were a bit bloodied, it would appear!

Ginny · « **Reply #114 on:** January 01, 2007, 10:11:50 AM »

Yikes, DR Danise! Take care!

MBarnum · « **Reply #115 on:** January 01, 2007, 10:13:31 AM »

In a moment I will head over to my mom's and meet her and my brother Dan who drove up from Medford this morning (he is picking his girlfriend up at the Portland airport)....well, mom just now IM'd me and told me he has just arrived, so I had best get going.

MBarnum · « **Reply #116 on:** January 01, 2007, 10:15:06 AM »

Oh, I guess they are going to just pick me up at 11:00.

td, thanks for the picture of the sexiest woman on earth. Starts the New Year off right for me.

Regards the discussion last night about why we always mourn someone who dies at 93, rather than celebrating their long life, I am reminded of this old story:

Apparently Clifton Webb was disconsolate when his mother died at a ripe old age. His pal Noel Coward tried to soften the blow by offer, "Come, come, dear boy, there are worse things than becoming an orphan at age 63."

Dan (the Man) · « **Reply #118 on:** January 01, 2007, 10:18:09 AM »

DR td's New Year's Day dinner sounds like what I'll be having. I shall shortly travel over to the house of my oldest sister and dine with my family on pork and saurkraut, an age old tradition.
