Happy New Year!

Well, another year has passed and another birthday has come and gone. Woke up on my couch this morning, fully clothed, contact lenses welded to my eyeballs, with a bowl of popcorn spilt all over me. I may be getting older, but I show no sign of maturing anytime soon.
Had (I'm pretty sure) a good New Years Eve last night. A group of us went to The Red Room after drinking heavily at a friends apartment from 8:00 to 10:00. Think I polished off nearly a full bottle of Cheeky Monkey Merlot plus whiskey plus a couple of beers plus a couple of gin and tonics. Surprisingly, I'm feeling pretty good today. I'm getting to the age where I really can't predict my hangovers anymore.
Made my way down to the Polar Bear Swim at English Bay today where my friends Mia and Paul were joining hundreds of other brave souls / mad fools for a quick dip in the ocean. As luck would have it, today was reeeeally cold with some nice icy rain to top it off. I was much happier being a spectator than a participant. Said my final goodbyes to Mia before she heads back to Denmark tomorrow and then made my way back home. Stopped by McDonalds for a couple of greasy cheeseburgers (or is that cheesy greaseburgers?) and then fell asleep on the couch for a couple of hours. Happy Birthday to me!
Anyway, have a happy and peaceful New Year everyone. I've got a feeling that 2007 is going to make 2006 look like 2005.
