Started out 2006 hung over, so I figure it can only go up from here. Well, I missed one party today, but I made another, and I saw some friends from grade school! That’s always great. I saw Emily Harris of NPR fame (every time she goes to Iraq, I hold my breath) and her new baby. Plus her sister Alice’s new son Owen (I hope I didn’t get that wrong). And the most interesting thing was showing up and having to help Dr. Harris saw a tree limb that had just fallen and was blocking the driveway.

Oh, and a friend of mine wanted to know if I wanted to see “Brokeback Mountain” with him. Sounds too sad for me. And people were already on my case for having a pink cell phone with a picture of my mom on it. Heh.
