2007's last transmission

Goodbye, 2007, you will be remembered fondly as a year of successes.
 
This will be my last time at a terminal before the Big Show, the NYE party at the Colony. This will be the 11th year celebrating in the Steel City and the 10th at the Colony. That's a Decade of memories, good or ill, and of course there was the one very special Millenium party that lasted a little longer than anyone ever expected. How can I explain the sybaritic pleasures experienced by these most noble of psychonauts? The entertainment never ceases. I have cleverly avoided caffeine all day and fed myself many times in order to remain in the waking world along with those who dream while partying. And at midnight, their strange, almost holy ritual to ring in the New Year. Then, the infinite wait for dawn, a hasty breakfast, and arrangements to eat the traditional german Pork and Sauerkraut, for luck in the coming year. Somewhere I may need to sleep again, but I'll build that bridge when the chasm of exhaustion yawns.

Happy New Year everyone.
