New Year's morning greetings! It seems no matter how late I stay up, I still wake up early unable to go back to sleep.

DITTO!

Good morning, all.

Feeling a little better after a night of unexpected tossing and turning. I'm bringing the New Year in with a little coughing, but that's the name of the game at this stage.

Wae-Ling Goldstein has never seen snow. I think a field trip is in order for today.

However, I do not know how to drive in snow.

Good morning, all! I had about 9 pages of notes to catch up with and now I am informed.

!!!!! Happy New Year !!!!!

I am feeling very mellow at the moment, a bit melancholy, and listening to songs from the 60s and 70s.

Rick Snelling was a very good friend from my hometown who died from AIDS in the late 1980s. His brother and sister-in-law were good friends of my parents and I had gone to school with his brother Jack. He was one of the most outrageous gay men I've ever known, and he was a wonderful friend frm 1970 or so util I moved to Manattan in 1979. Shortly after that, he relocated to San Francisco with someone he met, and I learned about his death from my mother.

He was traveling with me in one of my dreams last night, and I've spent the morning wondering what brought him into my subconscious and why that now has me mourning and missing dead friends.

It was nice to see that DR Danise is emerging from the Lower Depths. I'd sue the bastards for trespassing before the fools think up another cockamamie scheme to extort some more of that mythical lottery win.

So, for 2015 I wish that all my friends prosper and thrive with good health and much happiness.

What i'd like for myself are the following:
1. that Ohio property finally sells and I can stop fretting about living in poverty
2. that I land steady employment that I enjoy: for idle hands and hearts and minds the devil finds some work to do, says W.H. Auden

And i have work to do at the moment, something for which I am very grateful.

My wish for 2015 is the same as DR ELMORE's:

Good morning, all. And Happy New Year!

I see I have a lot of pages to catch up on.

Good morning and a very Happy New Year to all!

Pork ribs (country style so no bones) and Sauerkraut are in the slow cooker for my family traditional first meal of the year. I'll make mashed potatoes and bread rolls as well.

I did modify the recipe somewhat--I cut and added a green apple, an onion, some brown sugar and a quarter cup of beer to the Sauerkraut.

Do you know how hard it is to find a single can of beer to buy? I have to pour the rest of it down the drain since I won't drink it. I don't mind cooking with wine and other spirits but I can't stand the taste by itself. Yuck.

Anyway, we will give it a try and see what we get.

What is everyone else having for their First meal?

I hope both come true for you, DR Elmore!

Thank you DR Jrand64. Yeah, it's been a rough seven years but I think I'm finely coming into the light!

Welcome back, DR Danise.

In Texas, you can buy a single bottle or can of beer at the grocery. I can't remember the Florida rules.

Patricia Racette was wonderful last night. She sang four Arlen songs, two Rodgers and Hart, two Sondheim, a Gershwin and some stuff associated with Edith Piaf. She's in town to sing the lead role in Strauss' Salome. Wish I could go, but I'll be out of town for both performances.

The symphony followed her with about two hours of A Night in Old Vienna with plenty of the other Strauss to keep folks happy.

The highlight of the evening, however, was seeing the fireworks go off from behind the Tower of the Americas, our version of the Space Needle. I had never seen it live before, and it was thrilling. About 15 minutes of non-stop action.

I wish I could have taken photos, but I wasn't in a good spot for that.
