I have decided to remain here for the HHW NYE Par-tay.

I am not feeling much like driving around and going out....

There's a Jack Benny marathon on Antenna TV with an episode of Johnny Carson's Tonight Show in between.

Kathy Griffin and Anderson Cooper are already on CNN's Countdown to 2017.

I'm ready for our partay.

I can tell you the one vile place I will NOT be this evening - it's called Facebook. I seriously cannot look at those posts - the same people who, at the beginning of 2016 said after two days Best. Year. Ever - and make those pronouncements, who, as the year went on, forgot they'd said it and then made it into, according to them, the worst. year. ever. And now they're doing exactly the same thing and it's not even 2017 yet. I'll be here where the fun is and where people are normal.

Dear Jane - whatEVER. I'm not sure what kind of energy you need to have fun, make some posts, and be in the spirit, but then again I don't understand many things at many times. Have a Happy New Year.

I had a very rough night and still feeling the effects of a migraine.

However, we went to Beaches tonight. I am feeling much better after a Margarita, edame, a small Beach House Salad with mixed greens, candied cashews, jicama, sesame seeds, grilled salmon, asian honey mustard dressing and a side of their fantastic french fries.

Jane · « **Reply #99 on:** December 31, 2016, 05:38:19 PM »

Keith had the large salad and shared the fries with me.

Our favorite waitress, and the staff there are all excellent, served us tonight. Funny as this was the first time in ages we didn't ask if she was working, and the first time she was

Jane · « **Reply #101 on:** December 31, 2016, 05:39:44 PM »

Beaches is two miles from us, that is two miles with no traffic. We got parking close to the entrance and we still bundled up against the cold.

I'll have some candied cashews thanks.

I do not wish to be on this page any more.

I finally found the time to make the onion custard pie that I've wanted to try for a few weeks now.

Caramelized onions, eggs, heavy cream, Swiss cheese all baking in pie crust. (I had Swiss, not the Gruyere called for.)

It sounds good even though I am not a big fan of either cheese. I used to have allergic reactions to swiss, except I found baby swiss was ok, and I liked it. I had to make sure the cheese slicer at the deli's was cleaned first in case it slice swiss cheese before what I ordered.

Listened to Khachaturian's first symphony, which I hadn't heard. Quite nice. Now playing his suite from Masquerade. The opening waltz was instantly identifiable and must have been used in various films or TV.

Then I'll do some more Gerhard and David Diamond. As we get closer to midnight I may return to Sibelius, just because that is beautiful music that I love.

Page four? Really?

It's been raining here most of the day.

Mostly I am seeing a recapping of the good and bad in people's years. I like that. Of course there are many good wishes for a happy New Year, a bit much to keep up with.

Everyone here has been bellyaching for YEARS about the drought and lack of rain - but when we have it and we've had a bit of it this month, none of these people say a PEEP about it.

They are good.

I think a good resolution of 2017 might be to stay away from the bellyachers and the people who have selective memories about what they do.

If we do not get off this page I shall scream.

We had snow flurries during our afternoon walk but they stopped before we were home.

The waltz from Masquerade is done and now we're having a nocturne whilst watching the clock turn.

Or the sheep in a flock turn.

What year is this the year of, Chinese-wise.
