About 1130 on a slushy New Year’s eve… Diane and I are home and ready for bed. I think I have Taxi duty for gabe and raya at 2 AM so trying to get a little sleep… And have an event full year… Looking forward to the next one

Today was fun and slow… We took a hike with the dogs around Libbey’s Lookout

We had a downtown around 6 PM. Gabe was performing with Circ de Fuego And we had to get them down for 645 call. We were down there also to check out the new highlight New Year’s eve festival that Is replacing the old first night. It was a great time. We basically hung out at the waterfront and checked out all the stuff at the Echo Center.

The Cirque de Fuego show Was really excellent. Chris and Kim do such a great job at organizing these things. Gabe was lead safety And did Fire blowing. He was in great form. Check out some of these pics

Right after the fire show came fireworks… They were great. It was good they got them in because it was starting to rain.

Hey soon as we could we went to Ecco to get out of the rain. It was a great scene. There was lots of great art and a ton of people dancing talking… I was very happy to be there

Jacket brought wasters again… It felt funny eating oysters in an aquarium

I had fun trying to photograph the fish with reflections of our LED headbands

Now it’s time for a few hours of sleep before I have to go pick up the kids downtown. I hope everybody’s having a good end of the year… Let’s make next year fun and interesting

Night all night Sam
