new year's eve

[nibot]

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.

Some previous newyearses:

01-02 Tallinn, Estonia (with story!)
02-03 Imperial County, California (?)
03-04 Cañon de Guadalupe, Baja California, México
04-05 beach near Ensenada, Baja California, México

Tanx for inviting me out to the restaurant, I enjoyed it. I think if/when I go back I'm going to have what Rob had.

Hope you guys had a fun rest of the evening!

Tobin, how were the fireworks? I tried to view/photograph them perched behind the Ford Street bridge, but they were not visible at all, not even flashes! I figure either, a) they were aimed low from the base of the falls, or b) visibility was too low to see 'em.

Happy New Year!
