Bathed in the glow of the monitor, my computer tells me it's 4:27 am. My ears are ringing, my clothes reek of smoke, and my cat sleepily wonders why I'm still awake. It's the end of an amazing evening and the (early!) beginning of a new day.

- Happy Birthday to E, my table-top dancing birthday cohort.

- Thank you to all of my good friends who made the time to stop by and send their well wishes.

- Thank you to Parkay and KZ for being our designated drivers.

- And thank you, most of all, to BAT who coordinated the entire evening and ensured that everything was party-rificly wonderful.

Here's to new adventures and another fantastic year!
