Gerben42 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Where will you be tomorrow midnight? Anyone reading this in Prague, if so I'll be on the Wenceslas Square. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kenberg Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 We have no plans. It's been fairly hectic this holiday season and that hasn't really slowed down. On Friday we visit my older daughter, but Thursday evening we expect to take it easy. Many, many years back I brought a date to a New Year's Eve party that was hosted by a mathematician, with mostly mathematicians in attendance. In an attempt to bring my date into the conversation I asked one of the older guys "What's your daughter doing these days?" .... "Partial Differential Equations". On the way home my date said that she decided that if anyone asked her what she was doing at the party she would explain that she was a waitress that I had picked up on the way over.

kenrexford Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Spending the morning / afternoon moving. Hitting the Neptune Oyster House in Boston, then first night in the new digs... Jealous. I'd love to go there, but a tad of a drive from Ohio. Instead, I think I'll find the hottest chick in town and get her into bed. (That's a married guy's spin on staying home and watching the ball drop.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ohio isn't that far...And I need help packing We are now moving into "emergency" packing mode, in which belongings are being haphazardly packed into boxes with little to no effort at tracking what is going where whether this tee shirt from 1983 really needs to migrate to the new digswhich tuperware lids go with what I wish I could say that this was an unexpected development Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PassedOut Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I'll be home drinking wine by the fireplace, happy to be toasting the new year with my wonderful wife, with my sons and their girl friends, and with my nieces and their boy friends. On January 2nd we'll join the rest of my large extended family for the wedding of one of my younger brothers, who has been a widower for several years and has somehow convinced another very fine and accomplished woman to marry him. I'll be standing by his side at the wedding. These days are very special for me, and I hope for all of you too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A couple of weeks back a widower friend was asking what I would be doing over the holidays, and when I asked him what he would be doing it was clear that he could hardly wait to tell me that he was traveling with a woman to meet her son in Arizona. Happy Holidays indeed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

jdonn Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 I really don't care about holidays at all, I only enjoy them when family comes to town or I go see them. It's not that I'm a party pooper, quite the opposite I like to have fun and celebrate nothingness on any given night instead of a preprescribed arbitrary night. :) I usually volunteer to work on all of them so other people can have time off, and so I can take time off instead on days when other people don't. Tonight at midnight I expect I'll be sleeping, or perhaps playing on BBO. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Happy Holidays indeed. We are so happy for him. He was just crushed when cancer killed his first wife, leaving him to finish raising a daughter then just a sophomore in high school. It took quite awhile for him even to think about going out with another woman. I hope your widower friend finds real happiness again too. Life can be tough, but good relationships make it a wonderful adventure. Enjoy your evening in Maryland! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phil Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Kimi and I usually do one of the following: 1. Invite some friends over and play (non-bridge) games. 2. Nothing - which means watching the ball drop one or two time zones to the east of us. This year we are actually going out to a club. Which means that at about 10:00 we will look at each other and wonder what we are doing, get a bottle of wine, go to the hotel and revert to #2.

y66 Posted December 30, 2009 Report Share Posted December 30, 2009 Will spend this one at home in Arlington, Virginia, 2 miles south of Washington DC. Will be following passedout's fire and wine script which is one of my favorite ways to spend a winter evening. I put up a candle chandelier for the holidays and I am using 2 candles only (out of 6) to conserve energy. I will also be wearing long underwear and a sweater and keeping the heat turned down. I hope that makes Gerben happy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
