New Years Eve Plans

Well, NYE is a good night for driving the northeast corridor. There was very little traffic and no construction delays.

Now I'm watching the shows my dvr recorded while I was away and drinking Bailey's Irish Cream. I just had some really good carrot cake, too.

BTW my cousin gave me a bottle of good Jamaican rum. What's the best way to enjoy rum that's too smooth to bury in a pina colada?

Well, We made it to 9PM last night - what party animals we are! I did hear a thunderstorm at midnight that quashed all the firework festivities. Guess that means the kids will be out tonight

NY Biker there are many ways to enjoy a good rum! Rum mixed with your favorite fruit juice and perhaps some soda water, in apple cider and then heated (one of my winter faves), hot buttered rum with a dash of nutmeg and cinnamon and there's always the classic: rum and coke. Have fun experimenting!

I stayed up past midnight this year! After x country skiing almost 9 miles, I rested and then drank a cup of coffee at the beautiful Inn at Thorn Hill in Jackson, NH. Our reservation in the dining room was at 9 PM, so we sat in the bar for about a half hour and watched the various people... I made up names for all of them! Every night is a 3 course dinner at Thorn Hill, but it was a bit more festive on NYE, with decorations, etc. We were done around 11:20, so back into the lounge we went, ordered a split of champagne (actually Prosecco) and back to people watching we went. One couple looked like a much older woman with a younger guy, so I started calling him the gigolo. Silly, yes, but we had a good laugh. The next morning, on closer looking, I realized she just had an old fashioned haircut and clothes. Then there was the very inebriated couple, dancing in the middle of the bar, very aggressively swing dancing, bumping into DH's chair. Well, we watched the ball drop on the tV, finished our drinks and went to bed. Too bad I couldn't sleep!
