Happy New Year!
We tried out the George Forman grill that WS gave me for Christmas (I have been using one at work for making hot sandwiches, aka, paninies, and really like it). It did an excellent job of cooking the Omaha Steaks that Wichi Dude and Dudette gave us for Christmas. It was very easy; heat up, flop the steaks on, close the cover, cook for 9 minutes, remove the steaks and enjoy. I'll have to figure out a shorter time for my steaks, as 9 minutes produces a medium to done steak. I prefer medium rare, although really, I'm not overly picky and the steaks came out great.
Karen came over for dinner and we watched a movie that I picked up at least a year ago, From Paris with Love. The movie was good, pretty much because John Travolta's character made it funny (the movie itself is supposed to be an action thriller). Some of the neighbor's lit off fireworks between 9 and 10, so I'm guessing they didn't ring in the New Year. We didn't either, WS fell asleep in the chair (after the movie was over and Karen had left) and I read until about 11 before going to bed. That, my friends, is called getting old!
Hope you rang in the New Year responsibly and may the coming year be good to you!
We are right there with you. By 11, we had the house all buttoned up and were ready to call it a day. I (briefly) heard some fireworks at midnight. None very close so went back to sleep. Happy New Year to you and WS!

Bogie--Your dad went to bed at his normal 10:10 pm and I followed at my normal 10:30. Unfortunately, there were fireworks going off so I, eventually, arose and stayed up until the fireworks quit - a bit after 1:00 am. Is that responsible, or what? (You can never be "old" as long as I'm around! lol)

I've had a George Foreman Grill for years and I don't know how I'd do without it! It's awesome.
We did manage to stay up quite late (Deb had to work and got home just before midnight). Th elate night also meant we slept in much later than usual, something that threw us off for the whole day.
