Happy New Year!

Here's to a hopefully joyful and prosperous 2006, my friends! Best wishes to all out there in cyberspace who might happen to glance at this oft-neglected blog...!

(This pic was taken by a friend of mine at a house party last night in Ottawa. In case you're wondering, that's a double shot of tequila in the glass. Believe me, the smile didn't last long once I pounded that sucker back all at once down my gullet... :-) Reminded me why I usually avoid tequila! No worries, though - I managed to keep it all down.)
