Beautiful song, al! Thanks for posting it.

We stayed up until about 130a, watched Prairie Home Companion. We had let the old year out through the west windows earlier in the day. At the stroke of midnight we opened the front door, which faces east, and welcomed in 2007 and had a smooch. Heard just a faint echo of fireworks, but I don't think the two were related.**bg**

I put my book down about 2a, turned over and went to sleep until Rog's workplace phoned at 545a to say the transmitter was off. I burrowed down in bed more as he took care of it. Fortunately, he was able to reset it by phone, so it saved us a trip up the mountain, though it would have been lovely to see the sun rise on the new year.

We've a fairly quiet day ahead of us. Some family over, maybe. A little cleaning left to do and that's it.

Happy New Year!
