Happy 2006

Jason and Alicia came by for the New Year’s. This was the first time we ever hung out so late (other than the time they were staying at our NYC apartment). He did a quick sketch of Bryan which I thought captured certain qualities about Bryan…

Man, I should pick up doing art again… I miss the artist inside me.

We had some crazy cheese the Jason’s father sent him (which, according to Jason, were from UK!). Having good cheese with 97′ Chianti Ruffino Classico Riserva Ducale… YUM! It’s one of Grace’s all-time favorite wines. And damn is 97′ a good vintage or what! Everybody gulped two glasses before the flavor fully came out though… 🙁

Ah, another year’s passed as my waist line balloons. No matter. I will work it down this year. If the depression doesn’t do it, lifting Bryan all the time probably will. Or maybe it WAS the depression that got me so fat in the first place?!

Jason also took the last picture of Bryan for 2005.
