    I went to CWHM this morning to attend the Annual General Meeting. (Boy, did I ever stick out like a sore thumb. But I’m glad I went.)

    Some interesting conversation was to be had with some volunteer mechanics and veterans, more on this later. Off to see “Stomp” — my friend has an extra ticket.

  2. We Really Wanted That Caribbean Rum

    the best way to end 2006

    The best way to end 2006 was on a sand beach in the Caribbean. Taken New Year’s Eve at Veradero, Cuba.

    I thought winter was over this week, but then it snowed last night!

    A couple of weeks ago I was on the phone with my friend Lucy in England, and she reminded me about a poem we submitted to a radio contest when we were living in Scotland to win a holiday in the sun:

    Edinburgh is glum,
    Our senses are numb,
    We’d give our right thumb(s),
    For some Caribbean rum.

    I’m amazed she’d remember it after — say what?!? — 13 years, but we had a good belly laugh over it. We still think we should’ve won!
