ArchivesRe: Meaning of "Nashmin"
in reply to a message by Nanaea
Nanaea,
Thanks for the New Years hug -- always welcome, altho I found no shortage of these at home :)
When I said I hate New Year's, it's not because it depresses me but because it doesn't seem like a "real" holiday. Around here, major parties are for the singles and childless under 30; the only "public" gatherings are "First Night" observances that some churches have (presumably complete with silver crosses, holy water, and garlic to ward off the goblins, ghosties, and you Satanic lot).
Most people stay at home. Some have a few neighbors or family members in. We went to one such next door last night: about 6 couples and some grown kids, no big deal. I did see your hot tub mention in time to remind my wife that ours was functioning at the moment (it stays w/ the sold house, tho) and we killed a bottle of Asti therein before going next door. Good idea!
Many years ago, I worked in Cleveland, Ohio for an organization that had its offices in the old Statler Hotel downtown. The only part still used in a hotelesque fashion (not for offices) was the Oak Room Restaurant one floor downstairs. In his later years, that's where the near-dead Guy Lombardo and his boys did their New Years bit that was televised. Maybe it was the midday rehearsal strains of "Auld Lang Syne" coming thru the floor as we finished our work for the year that soured me on New Year's. Who knows?

The magic of anagrams knows!
"Guy Lombardo's music"="Room ugly -- sad music"
Glad you had a bottle of Asti handy for the hot tub last night! See? Everyone takes Dr. Nanaea's prescriptions. Che has learned the effectiveness of hot tea and sambucca. ;)
