With 2006 almost here, I've been sitting around most of the day just thinking about the past (for proof of that, check my post this morning in Dry Crusts).
I know a lot of you won't remember, but I got to thinking about the New Years Eve parties that Don Coriell used to host many years back. Everyone brought some sort of a dessert and we sat around and chatted, played Uno, checkers, etc. until the New Year arrived. After a while it was moved to the church building, a few more of you probably remember that. I'm not sure if Don just got tired of hosting the party or if it outgrew his house. After a few years it dwindled down to only a few families for some reason and it ceased to be quite as much fun. It was eventually put out of it's misery and, as far as I know, folks have been spending New Years Eve at home in recent years. I sort of miss those parties, but I'd also miss being at home with the family.
I've just been wondering if anybody would be interested in an Online New Year's party...maybe set up a chat room and just chat with one another online from the comfort of home. Just a zany idea...

Pondering New Year's Eve

I'm on-call during the New Year's weekend. Therefore, my plans will inevitably revolve around the beeper.
I think it's a neat idea but I'm not sure I'll be somewhere where there is a computer to use at time. If I end up being home, I can join in on whatever you cook up for the group on here.
Jason,
Why did you name yourself "Jeho"? As a matter of fact, what's with "Gideon" and "Asa"? Interesting code names, guys...hahaha!
I could tell you, but then, I'd have to kill you.
Actually with a fake name you can have lot's of blogging fun.
You can make:
*leftish comments on right-wing blogs
*rightish comments on left-wing blogs
*sexist comments on feminine blogs
*etc
Just kidding-I really don't do that.
I wondered who Jeho was...the truth comes out. You weren't Dumb Ox too, were you? :)
Doesn't sound like anybody's terribly interested in my suggestion, so just fergit I mentioned it.
I'm going to be busy enjoying family and friends, setting off fireworks, maybe dance a few jigs with the little woman while we usher in the New Year. I'll have my laptop lid shut!
I've been frequently referred to by an expression that is very similar to Dumb Ox but no, I am not the Dumb Ox.
