Last night, my daughter (AKA the kid curmudgeon) and I brought in the new year by christening the fireplace in our new house and roasting marshmallows and making 'smores just like she used to do in the Girl Scouts. Doesn't get any better than that.
2008 turned out to be a good year for the IC. I became a home-owner at long last (one man's downturn is another man's opportunity) and we became dog-owners finally (a yellow lab, AKA the puppy curmudgeon). And of course Barack Obama won the 2008 presidential sweepstakes to see who would get the opportunity to clean up George W. Bush's 8 years of pooping on the US and the world's carpet and peeing on our constitution and our rights.
Here's to Barack Obama getting us back on track in 2009 and for a happy and healthy and safe New Year for us all!

Glad to see you writing again! Sounds like you had a great NYE. Mine was...strange but I had a good time.
Anyway, congrats on the house and the dog and thanks for writing about Doubt and Slumdog. I was on the fence about seeing those two movies (I kind of hate Oscar-bait movies and I was afraid that's what they were) but now I'll check them out. Glad you liked Rachel Getting Married too. I saw it on Monday and enjoyed it immensely!
Happy 2009, Dr. J!
