Happy New Year!

Spent last night with a few friends (who we'd actually spent the evening with the day before too) just hanging out - then over to the local Irish pub for the midnight countdown. It was nice, casual, good evening. We weren't sure if we wanted t to head out because we weren't sure about getting home again (it would've been at least $50 for a cab from their place back here), but with new year's, they were running extra transit of all sorts and we took the commuter train home (something I've never done before). Reminded me of the train rides across England when we were there, only in this case, most of the people on the train were in some stage of inebriation. But it was quiet, with everyone saying happy new year and all. The train was kinda the coolest part of the whole thing.
