Well,
It's official.

The universe has conspired to keep me off of the roads tonight.

I finally committed to New Year's plans about 5 p.m., and laid down for a power-nap.
I some how set my alarm and managed to set the clock time back 2 hours.

When I woke up at 10:30, I thought it was 8:30 and took my time getting ready to go out.

When I realized it was 11 p.m., I quickly shaved my head, took a shower, threw on clothes and ran out the door at 11:40.

And my tire was flat.

I then realized that the universe was trying to tell me something.

I took a shot of Maker's Mark, opened a pale ale and went next door to my neighbor's who had a chip-dip & champagne party going on. They were watching Dick Clark's New Year's Eve Bash and letting their dogs lap champagne from their glasses.

Just another orbit 'round the sun, marked by alcohol and a new calender.

I tore into the spinach & artichoke dip with a chunk of pumpernickel and slid some tortilla chips to the dogs.

Happy Orbit
