I always enjoy the cat pics!

But I’ve been wondering: has Pam Spaulding left Pandagon?  I haven’t seen anything from her recently.

What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?

I hope I’m sleeping—bad time to get a head cold. :-(  I had planned to do some cooking for the week; if I feel better, I will still do that.

But I’ve been wondering: has Pam Spaulding left Pandagon?  I haven’t seen anything from her recently.

She’s been posting at her site:  http://www.pamshouseblend.com/

Traditionally I stay home for New Year’s, go to bed early, and wake up as the only non-hungover person in my zip code.  You gotta take a night off once in awhile, you know?

Pam’s NOM post is food for thought.  I’m not registered there though.
My take on the pictures?  The kids in the same-sex household pictures look relaxed; the parents look happy.  In the Browns’ picture Mom looks tired, as does the oldest daughter; the two younger daughters have those fake smiles of having been told to “say cheese” way too many times in a row and all but the youngest boys look stiff.  I’m also with the commenters who say go ahead an insult Brian Brown and his choices - he’s an asshole and is doing his children no favors with his current course, one he shows no signs of changing.

New Year’s Eve - It seems the current “tradition” in New England is to order and eat too much Chinese food, perhaps visit a 1st night celebration and watch fireworks.  We will make our own Chinese food and will likely watch the fireworks on tv. 
Our son has gone into Boston to spend the weekend with his sister in Watertown.  They are spending the day in Chinatown (as much Vietnamese and other sE Asian now, but the name has stuck even though Little Asia would be more accurate) and the Common before going to a place in Somerville were Love in Sweden is playing for the countdown to midnight.

Amanda asked us:

Discussion question: What are you doing for New Year’s Eve?

In an answer that probably won’t surprise anyone, I went to bed at around 10:30.

New Year’s Eve found me deciding almost at the last minute to go to Boston and break in my new camcorder. Got a lot of still shots, not that much video (I’m a little too Aspie to go up to random people and do man-on-the-street shots just for fun), then met up with a friend who had blown off a dead-on-arrival party to hang out.
