Usually on New Year's Eve, I'm with the local margarita_fri and partyatvernards crowd at someone's house whooping it up. However, that will most likely not be the case this year.

There has been a bit of a famly emergency and I'll be spending most of the day helping my brother Vincent move out of his house and into mine. The reasons why are not very pleasant and I won't got into the sordid details at this point. Feel free to call me on my cell if you feel you need more information.

In any event, I will most likely be spending New Year's Eve helping him get settled into my place. He'll be staying with me for about 3 months but might be moving earlier depending on how his hunt for a new place goes.

what this means is that I won't be able to attend or host any New Year's Eve events. I'll miss seeing many of you but I trust that each and every one of you will ring in the New Year with zest and joy as always. Don't let my absence stop you from whooping it up :-)

And if I don't get a chance to see you before then, Happy New Year!
