Woo!  New Years!Jenna and I went out to The Elbow Room to watch Erin’s boyfriend’s band play and to ring in the new year at a bar with some friends.  They had cheap drinks and delicious greasy food, and it was fun to have live music.  It was a lot of fun, up until the point where we had to drive home and there was 5 inches of snow.  We left the elbow room around 1:30 or so and no plow trucks had been out.  Luckily we were not in any particular hurry to get home, so we just hopped on 94 and drove 20 miles per hour the whole way back. This morning I woke up at 6:30 for some ungodly reason, puttered around a little, and then went back to fall asleep until the game started.  And oh, what a glorious game it was.  Not only did Lloyd Carr, Shawn Crable, Jake Long, Chad Henne, Mike Hart, and all of the other seniors and coaches go out on a winning note, but we did it by beating Florida.  For those of you who don’t know me, I have a deep and irrational hatred of Florida teams (except for USF, but that is only because Michigan Radio’s Dustin Dwyer is a proud alumnus) as well as the SEC.  No one tell Grandpa Jim. After the game I did a celebratory driveway shoveling, and we went over to my parents for dinner/Vikki’s birthday.  The new year is starting out very well.
