Party was great! Lots of good food, the best guests (Nathan, Sydney, and then Dan), good drinks, fun!
We played "Life", a bit complicated given the kids' ages but it was a Christmas gift they wanted to try out...kids watched ball drop at 11 (it was midnight in NY).
I leaned over to kiss Nathan and Sydney as everyone on TV was kissing for New Year's. Dan was holding [censored] so I leaned at him and he turned like he would kiss me on the mouth. I just tipped my head and kissed him on the cheek. So funny b/c a month ago I would have given a limb to get a kiss from him and then I chose to minimize it!
Dan kept hinting that he thought I would be 'out' tonight. I just said, "Yeah, I thought I might be too, but another time..." CA texted me happy new year around 8ish and I texted him back a reply awhile later, that was pretty much it.
Dan was on the phone on and off with his best friend Nathan talking about cattle. Apparently one of the ugliest bulls they have ever seen just had a half-interest sell for $50,000!! Dan said it was pretty much a case where a good salesman found someone with a ton of money, interest in cows, and no knowledge of quality. So the ignorant investor paid way too much for a crappy cow...
Anyway I told him I hope he has the same luck in Denver in a couple weeks. He and a partner are trying to sell a half-interest in a pretty good bull and they are hoping to get 'only' $15,000...
Oh well probably putting you to sleep with that story! I have bee cleaning/organizing all day and watching a "Next Iron Chef" marathon on tv. Making me hungry!!! May take myself out for steak this evening...
