happy new year!
We had a great party this evening: not quite 30 people—but close!—and over eight solid hours of fun. We ate a lot of food, chatted with a lot of folks, and wrecked the house pretty good. Harvey somehow managed to stay up until midnight; he convinced us to play Stone Age with us, and the excitement of the game easily kept him awake until it ended at five minutes before twelve. Then it took a little work for me to motivate him to hold on for those last couple minutes, since he wasn't quite sure what was really going on. But he made it, and fell asleep on my lap three minutes into 2014. We'll see what that means for us when the year really starts, at sunrise tomorrow!
Here's to a wonderful year for you and yours!
