The weekly update for 12/16/2004
Greetings cousin Will. This is your weekly, probably by now, your monthly update.. and perhaps the last of the year. If there's any notable news on Monday I'll blog you then.
We head back to the mother land next week for the rest of the year. I'm looking forward to it. The partying aspect I could do a little less of, but of course after a guiness or two wet the lips the ability to decide when enough is enough quickly dissapates. The number of parties this season already has been quite impressive.
I've also become rather partial to the bud lite myself. good stuff. refreshing and light! Crisp. Fresh, smooth, real!
Anyway, enough about that.
It is a chilly but clear 36 here in the big apple.
Here's your update.
