My exciting evening saw me sipping cranberry Martinelli's and snuggling on the couch with my 10 year old when the clock went straight up. We were both
sound asleep 15 minutes later. Somehow seems anti-climactic compared to some past years but I feel much, much better this morning.
How did you spend the eve ???
Tell all, you party animals !

Yes Jim, it's tomorrow already !
Surf's up dude; time to grab your board, wax, wetsuit, coffee mug, leftovers and car keys.
I heard surfing on Viagra helps you get off on the waves ?!?!

Dude,
Totally knarly !!
Did this guy go to ASU or U of A ? Probably ASU, huh ? Yeah, must of been.
In 1971 when I looked in one of those playboy mags rating the "party" schools, they commented that they only rated the amature party schools and did
not include the "professional" party schools; ASU and University of Wyoming. My cousin was at ASU and I was at Wyoming at the time.

Hey Diver!
Don't know about ASU or U of A; was sent with several other images as part of a Happy New Year email from a colleague.
Happy New Year.

Bugdude,
That's going to be hard to beat! Was asleep by 9pm - getting old I guess. I never like to go out on amature night...

A big 'Second' on that, Bob H...

..we're not big on being in the middle of big crowds - especially on holidays! To many 'amateur' drinkers out there on New Year's Eve!
I guess that's why we are such Baja nuts - we don't have much of that 'Herd' mentality that seems to make all those other people gather together on
the big holidays! You couldn't get me to go to Times Sq on New Year's eve in NYC for a million bucks!
Small, intimate, 'herds' are OK, like visiting with a few new best friends on a deserted Baja beach around a campfire! Not a bad way to bring in the
New year, when you have the chance!
All the best - in '06'.

On the 31st we had no set plans until we got a call from friends south of the border arond 4 PM who said they had room for two more at the dinner
table and "Do you have any champagne in your cellar?". We could'nt think of a good reason to not ring in the New Year in Baja. Threw a change of
clothes in a bag, some champagne in the cooler along with a couple of bottles of red, hopped in the truck and 30 minutes later we were crossing the
border,quick stop for 37 gallons of diesel, then another quick stop at the liqour store for some Gran Centenario A?ejo,with the money we saved on the
fuel was able to get TWO bottles (one for us and another for the party host
).
Then on to our campo for an evening of fun and frivolity with good friends. We ended up at La Palapa de Jose listening to Miguel de La Hoya and Paco
playing thier guitars at midnight. The traffic was the lightest I have ever seen it, seemed the lousy weather was keeping most folks at home. The
northbound 'regular' border last night at 9:00 PM looked like a five minute wait! Sentri was about three seconds.
Happy New Year!

I lured my 8-year-old granddaughter, and a couple of Mexican boys 7 and 9 who were spending the night, away from video games long enough to watch the
big globe descend at Times Square on the telly. Then we had hot chocolate and cookies.
Although my chocolate had brandy in it to celebrate the occasion, this was not what I'd call a Big Night.
