Hi all

As you probably know, I am in Baltimore, Maryland, USA. I will be tomorrow going out to Sears to buy a new microwave for me old Mum who lives downtown here, as her present one appears to be on the fritz. Then my wife Donna and I will be going to the Baltimore Museum of Art (BMA) to have a look at some of the exhibits before having a New Year's Eve dinner in Gertrude's Restaurant at the BMA. New Year's Day I will be going downtown to the Slainte Irish bar in Fell's Point, the old Seaport section of Baltimore, to see Liverpool play Bolton on closed circuit telly. The bartender, Dave Gallagher, is having a 44-hour bartending marathon on starting 6:00 AM Sunday to raise money for charity for the Kennedy Krieger Institute. I will probably want to support this because my Dad, who died of lymphoma in 1979, came over to the U.S. in 1954 after working as a physiotherapist at Newsham General Hospital, to work for the forerunner of the Kennedy Krieger Institute. He had wanted to work with cerebal palsy children and at that time for some reason there was more cerebal palsy in the United States than in England.

Staying in again for the 5th year running, no chance of babysitter. I had some mad NYEs in the 90s, but again cant be bothered now. Most of our neighbours have kids so there's always loads out in the street at midnight.

[Kev]

You sound in a similar position to me Ste, I think its all part and parcel of growing up. When I think about the partying I did which started at the ripe old age of 16 down Old Swan, progressing onto Wavertree Highstreet until my late 20's, over 10 years is a long time to be out friday night, saturday night, christmas eve night, boxing night, new years eve night it goes on and on.

But now we are happy to chill on a new years eve night with a bottle and a dvd and munchies.

Kev was a party animal? I dunt believe it.

I'm in my early twenties and barely done crap.

Have to say that sounds like me this last month, I can't remember when I've had one like this and am an absolute physical wreck. January is going to be a detox month.

Max if you don't do it all now you'll end up missing out,these are the best days of your life so make the most of them.

[shytalk]

Yeah Max, it isn't the things you do that you later regret, it is the things you didn't do.
