Oh, I'm going to be fine....had no other New Years Eve plans

anyway...had already celebrated at the Aussie Party. But, while I'm

waiting for recovery, I appreciate all of you even more as I got up

this morning, took some meds and then here I am with my friends.

Didn't even have to get dressed. And, as I read your messages its

like each of you is right here and for those whose voices I have

heard I hear them through the typed words. In fact just now was

hearing the most beautiful French Canadian accent. And, for those I

haven't heard I imagine.

Now you're into my kind of movies. Jealous Tina went to Alvin and the

Chipmunks. I loved Monsters Inc. Over the Hedge was pretty good too.

I was scared they weren't going to make it back in Madagascar, but it

was a good movie, too.
