A night I usually dread

[jay]

This is a classic date/party evening. Since I'm not generally invited to parties, and can't usually find babysitting, invariably I find myself stuck at home on New Year's Eve, contemplating my own social undesirability. If I'm lucky, I'm visiting family back East and can express my frustration by blowing up some illegal fireworks after midnight. In California, even that's not an option...

I was contemplating going to see one of my past universities (Georgia Tech) play locally in a bowl game this afternoon, but I have no one to take along and probably couldn't afford the tickets ($60/each) anyway. So I'll stay here in the office. Feh.

I hope that you had a worthwhile evening. I find that most of my introspection and reflection takes place outside -- in a natural setting, or on a trip. Even sitting in traffic. A night at home, alone with no specific tasks to accomplish... that thought makes me fidget. I'd probably fill it with work... we look at things differently.

(smile) happy new year, to one of my favorite people.
