Happy New Year to one and all!

A follow up:
I found the speakers in a spare bedroom closet. Apparently I put them in there to avoid damage...whew!

I put the couch in the neighbors garage to make room for party goers, who sits down at a party anyway!

We found a traumatized and hysterical cat in the attic, apparently put there so it wouldn't escape to the outside and get run over. The kids are talking to me again....a mixed blessing....apparently a comment about Kitty hors d' oeuvres wasn't fully appreciated!

Nobody knows where the Scotch (Talisker) came from so I'm keeping it. If today is any indication of the year ahead....I'll need every drop!
