Only one hour 20 minutes left over here... Ah well, more wine! ;)

Good luck with finishing the novella. Happy New Year to you! Thanks for brightening my days in 2007 with some of the best books I've ever read - hey, I'm being serious. I've only had two glasses of wine... *cheers*

Not only can you finish it, you'll be safe from drunk drivers while you do it.

Between the bowl game down the street, idiots with motor vehicles, and advancing age, we're staying in--there's champagne in the ice box, caviar (OK, lumpfish, but sturgeon are endangered) in the pantry, and I may make some sausage balls. We're good--I even have the fixin's for Hoppin' John and greens for tomorrow.

Bonne année &c.!

Please can you delude me too?

*is deluded*

Thank you!

Also, I foresee massive bestsellers this year, for both of--

Oh, wait.

I'm deluded, aren't I...?

Shh. You're too deluded to notice.
