Rang in the New Year at a dinner dance at a hotel near San Francisco International airport. We shared our table with some old friends and some new ones. The chemistry was right from the beginning, the dinner was good, and the conversation animated. We danced, chatted, and had fun. Two people at our table won door prizes. At midnight we made a lot of noise, sang "Auld Lang Syne" and then went around greeting everyone on the dance floor, some of them more than once. Fair to say that a pleasurable evening was enjoyed by the crowd of fourscore and seven, at this dress-up affair that at first we had some small misgivings about.
The family came over tonight to have dinner at our house. I had made a digital movie showing the granddaughters as they were thirteen years ago, when they were just five and three. Laughter and comments reassured me that the hours invested in the production were well spent.
Today the weather was fine and brisk, and tomorrow promises to be no different. The New Year is off to a promising start.
