All in all, I'd say it was a fantastic year! Who can complain?!
Hope everyone had a wonderful New Year! Mike's party was a blast - they roasted 120 pounds of pig! It took four of them just a few minutes to cut it all up (lots of practice apparently!). Here's a picture of the pig on the spit:
It was insanely delicious! The party was a blast!
As you probably know, today is my birthday. It's been fantastic... it's 2:30pm and I'm still in my jammies! I've watched a bunch of episodes of "ER" (thanks Mike!) and some "Friends" reruns. It's been wonderfully relaxing!
I won some really cool tickets at work... last night Kati and I went to see Neil Diamond. We had such a blast... that man is still 100% selling out arenas! He sang all of his classics (shoot, he sang "Sweet Caroline" TWICE!) plus some new stuff off of his lastest CD. What a cool prize to win for dressing up!
I finally got around to uploading all of my Europe videos... enjoy!
These first two are a band that was playing in the metro (subway) in France... they were amazing! In fact, every metro all over Europe had these incredibly talented musicians!
Next is a little safety video that Kati and I were inspired to make on the plane from France to Italy. You see, they started in on the whole water landing thing, however, Kati and I realized that we weren't really flying over any large body of water:
The next is our Eiffel Tower video. Sorry it's sort of sideways, but work with me. We discovered that when you ask for water in most of Europe, "with gas" means sparkling and "without gas" means plain old tap water. For some reason this struck us as hilarious (I swear we're both grown adults). Thus, I present to you, the Eiffel Tower - with gas (get it... sparkles?):
Finally, our Greek video. Needless to say, we were just goofy at this point:
On that note, I'm off to bed!
