new year's eve

It's New Year's Eve in Rochester and snow is falling softly. The plan for the evening: dinner at Bree's restaurant and then the High Falls fireworks (and laser show!) at midnight. I spent the last day of the year with the girl, driving the country roads through snowy farmlands south of here, hiking around Powder Mills Park, staring in at the masses of fishes in the cold water at the fish hatchery, up in wonder at the Mushroom House, and sampling the delicious 'fluid dielectrics' at Custom Brewcrafters. It was a good year, but I'm ready for 2006.

Most exciting accomplishment of 2005: Overland trip from Orange County to Mexico City.

General plan for 2006: Get on track again, learn something new. Projects, travel, all that wonderfulness.
