We did not go to New York City. Before we could roll out the snow rolled in and after the crazy travel to and from Presque Isle, Steve was not willing to do that again so soon - this time with New Years Eve traffic. We always think of it as amateur hour anyhow. All these people who don't know how to drink, getting as drunk as possible, as quickly as possible and the prospect of snow and ice on the roads - no thankyou. So on this last night of the decade, the night of a blue moon (the 13th in the lunar year) we made sushi and stayed home with friends and family. The Zizzi's joined us for dinner and the evening, Gloria and James and Jon ate with us before they departed for their respective parties and we had a sushi meal of epic proportions. Nice to go low fat and virtually veg after the high fat dairy excesses of the past week or two. And then part two of our celebrations, my favorite part, we went off to the woods at Goldsmith and snow shoed in the dark. It was marvelous. We were the only people out there, there was a coating on the trees and the full moon peered down at us through a hazy sky, so the light was luminous and shadowless. Gorgeous walking. I have many thoughts about the decade as yesterday's post probably clued you in on - but today I'm willing to let that go and say a fond farewell. Many sweet things happened in the past decade and I am looking forward to many more sweet things in the one to come.
