A Night of New Beginnings

New Year's Eve/Day was a great time for us.

The day started out pretty bad. It was raining, kids were upset, and we had to cancel our BBQ we had planned. So we sat around the house reading books, messing up rooms, watching movies, and yelling at each other. HA HA

For the last supper of '05, we had rice and soyu chicken (yummy). We were receiving calls from friends that wanted us to be out but we just did not feel like it at all. Finally, a great friend of mine talked me into going to a club right down the street. I had to apologize to my oldest son, Greg, because we had told him we were not going out. After having a grape juice champagne toast with the kids, we were off.

We arrived at the club around 11:00 p.m., so the place was already packed. We had to spend $10.00 to get in but it included 1 plastic cup of Champagne and breakfast. HA HA But it was a great time, my wife and I had not been with this group of friends for a long time. Throughout the night, I was pretty feisty. I know that I was annoying the hell out of my wife. I played drums on her chest, I danced around her, tooted my horn, wore the center piece as a hat, and I am sure much more. She was wearing her christmas gifts and was looking GOOD. At midnight, we kissed, hugged, kissed, I did the reach around, cried, and kissed some more. Ok, there was no crying until the next day when our friends woke up. HA HA

Here are the photos at the end of '05.

Do you like white or dark meat?

White is looking freaky, go dark. Ha ha

Kim Jung Ill and my wife

Now, around 3 in the morning, we all jumped into our van and decided on a roadtrip. We traveled all over the base and ended up in a new and exciting land called "Gate 2 Street". Actually, some of the crew goes there every weekend and others just wish we were on island too. We walked up hill both ways, with rain coming down, sideways, and sometimes coming back up. It was a long, miserable walk before we saw a neon blue "X". As we entered the establishment, I noticed the stairs to heaven. So off we trotted up the long 1 story stairs. As we entered, a guy was getting a good new year gift in the bathroom.

As always, my wife opened up the night with Alanis Morsette (?). Everyone there was pretty drunk at this point. People were taking off their shirts, rubbing up and down women that were not theirs, and passing out on the bar. And that was just me and my wife. Just kidding, we were the only ones not drinking but it does make a good story.

Our friend had a hankering for Rolling Stones and did a fine job on it. Then a couple of the ladies HAD to sing Sweet Home Alabama. Now, one of them we shall call KIM JUNG ILL is originally from Cali but claims Hawaii because she lived there for 2 months. So we changed the song title to Aloha Alabama for her.

My other friend and I ended the night with a little HOTEL CALIFORNIA and sounded so good that we were asked for autographs. Then the owner wanted to sign us up for a record deal. Ok, we just sang the song.

Finally, we ended the night/morning eating Curry at a 24 hour restaurant. We all looked like vampires with red eyes. We arrived back home around 7:oo a.m. It was a great New Year and a great New Beginning.......
