New Years 2009


"Pablo and I celebrated the New Years Celebration with events the took up most of the day. We went to the new Light Rail, and took the light rail to the Insight Bowl which dropped us off right in front of the Statium. It was, free and awesome! We went to Fumbles now called College Dropout to meet up with Pablo's friend from college Brian Styskal or as Pablo refers to him Styskal who I had never met. He lives in Rhode Island right now. We had a beer and then went to the Insight Bowl. We watched Kansas Jayhawks beat the Minnesota Gophers (which Pablo thought was a stupid idea for a mascot). I sat next to a lady from Omaha. The Half Time show included both Marching Bands doing Michael Jackson's "Thriller." Minnesota did a better version. During the third quarter we left to get back to the Light Rail to get to the New Years party. We swung by Char's house to change for the party and then were off to Fountain Hills. We hung out with Brian, Eric, Heather, Becker, Lucas, Desiree and Devon. Heather made delish Italian cuisine, including Tiramisu. It was all tasty. Brian brought the vintage bottle of Strawberry Hill Boons Farms for all to enjoy. We toasted in the New Year and sang Auld Lang's Syne. By 2 or 3 am, I fell asleep on the couch. Pablo put a pillow on me and did the same. Pablo and Heather tried to set up the air mattress, but the pump needed to be charged. So we shared Heather's daughter's twin size bed. We got up at 8 am and drove home where we were lazy all day. It was a great New Years Eve. Hope everyone had a great New Years and here is to a great 2009!"
